Dear Tom, Connie and Family,

On behalf of the entire Karahalios family, please accept our sincerest condolences for the loss of such a fine man. We will always remember him for his tireless work efforts at Assumption Church and Plato School. Sorry we were unable to attend the Services.

+++ May his memory be Eternal +++

I have fond memories of John, his wife
Ann and his mother. He was a truly remarkable man. He will be missed by many friends and family.

We will miss our dear Uncle John. He was warm, caring and a brilliant man. He was always interested in what was going on in the lives of his family. We promise we will keep the Chiakulas family tradition and continue our family gatherings. We know you will be there with us!

Love,
Stacey, John, Greg, and Charles Chiakulas (your grand niece and grand nephews)

He was a wonderful cousin and will be sadly missed. I have many fond memories of him and of his entire family. Jim Kartsounes
