Lewis Peter Gundunas

My deepest sympathy to all of Louie's love ones namely the
family. I was much saddened hearing he is no longer among us.
He was a very healthy looking man with so much energy as I
had witnessed.
I worked at Balkan Village as a bus-boy part time weekends in
early 70's as being a student at San Jose State college.
It was so entertainment and pleasing working there in many ways mainly
watching Louie performing his Ouzo dance followed by picking up a
table with...

Very sad to hear, he was a great talent and a great friend.

God rest his soul. My prayers are with Peggy, and Pete, and "The Girls". What an amazing American success story he was! My family took me out to dinner at 'The Beev" one night, and life was never the same! I grew up spending many happy hours at the Balkan Village. I recall Louie & all the family roasting lambs every Greek Easter out in front. He had a great relaxed smile, but could be strict in a gentle way; he was a good influence on me. Louie was one of my brother bikers, and a good man....

My deepest sympahty to Peggy Jo and the rest of the Gundunas family. May our good lord continue to bless and keep you all.

Very strangely, on Friday the 13th while out to dinner with another couple in SF (the wife is Greek), I made a joking reference about her dancing with a table held between her teeth. I really hadn't thought about that in years.

I am 62, and about 50 years ago, my late dad, Al Mitchell (a San Jose jeweler whom I believe knew Mr. Gundunas), would often take my mom and me to dinner at the Balkan Village. I learned about Greek culture music and food- particularly on Greek Easter when...

It was a sad day when the Balkan Village closed it's door. It's an even sadder day when we have to say goodbye to Louie. You were always the most caring, gracious and generous soul. I'll be playing Ouzo to your memory... may it be eternal.

Robert & I have many sweet memories of Louie. He was a lot of fun & a wonderful man. Our deepest sympathies to the whole family.

Love from us,
Myra and Rick Hubacher
