CHRIST IS RISEN + TRULY HE IS RISEN
MEMORY + ETERNAL

How can I tell of the wonderful love for God and the Orthodox Church, piety, Christian love, hospilality, morality, and virtues of my friend, Father George? He always attended to the one thing needful - our Holy and Blameless
Orthodox Faith. His tonsure to the Great Schema was an example of his zeal. He, Maria, and the family became our very good friends when they lived in Seattle. I will never forget those...

I, of course, remember Michael and his family as 'fellow parishioners' at St. Nectarios Church in Seattle. But what I fondly remember about Michael is seeing him at football games - be it the Husky's or the Seahwks.What wheelchair? Never slowed him down or stopped him from doing what he desired.Eternal be his memory and my sincerest greetings to his wonderful family and friends not only in Utah, but wherever they may be.I will be thinking of him on opening day at Husky Stadium and will pause...

May our Lord reward his kindness and love for our Holy Faith. His almsgiving is an example for every Christian. May his memory be eternal.

Dear Adondakis Family,
Our love and condolences are with you as we learn of Michael's death. We are very sad from this news. Mike was always an inspiration to everyone who met him. You did not know he was in a wheel chair unless someone told you. It means a lot to me that on my last trip to Salt Lake I was able to spend some time with him. I shall be forever greatful for this.
May his memory be eternal.
Love
David & Nikki Cozakos

This man sounds like a wonderful man I wish I could have known.

i met michael at boy's state in 1955. he was atending jordan high, i was attending olympus high. i often saw him later at the u of u. he was an inspiration to me. i have kept a picture that i took of him with his crutches while at boy's state. i am proud to have rubbed shoulders with him for a brief moment.

I would like to express my sincire condolences. I remember many a day crossing yiaya's fence to get a cool drink from the house.

My prayers and the prayers of my family are with you.

We're very sorry Carolynn.

Dear Adondakis Family:
We love you with all of our hearts.
Mike made an religious imprint in my life so many years ago when he was my Sunday School teacher at Prophet Elias in Salt Lake City. I will never forget his courage, his uncanny ability to explain "anything and everything" and his love for everyone.
I miss him so much but definitely know he is in a much better place and he's watching over all of us. We all just gained a new guardian angel.
Love and...
