Peter James Demos

Barb and family,
I remember Pete during those pre-teen and teen years when he and I did quite a few things together but I won’t go into them here in this format.
Ponioti, as his grandmother would always holler at him (and she hollered at him a lot) was kind of in charge at the Demos household and I can still recall the Greek food being prepared by Grandma. The most impressive was the filo dough being rolled out to make Baklavah on the dining room table. A big production compared to...

I first met Peter 10 years ago. It was after the Shrine Circus at the Target Center when my daughter Celena was 2 yrs old. I had lost my car keys and thought they were inside, frantic as to what to do with a small child and all. Peter calmly led us inside and sat us in the back room with his wife Barb and the clowns to entertain my daughter. He then had the arena searched for our missing keys. Unfortunately they did not turn up but Peter insisted on having his son Pete drive us home to get...

It was about 1988 that I was introduced to Pete by a mutual friend. It was indeed a pleasure. Pete did my personal and business taxes for all these years.

Before he and Barb moved to Florida it was always fun to sit down with Pete across from the computer for the annual right of tax preperation. It was typically 3 hours of stories and 20 minutes of calculations. Since moving to Florida the stories were on the phone or via e-mail.

Pete will be missed. He was a good man....

Pete and family,

Take care.

Your friend,
Moe

In telling Pete of my problem is when I found out he was not only a Pilot but an accomplished tax accountant. In Petes typical style he told me to relax and he would handle it. Which ofcourse he did and has continued to right to the present time.
I will miss Pete's outrageous humor, the stories of...

I knew Pete for about 30 years, and I always knew him as a really incredible person. Pete would say things to me that would make me laugh so hard I would cry. Pete was a friend and also he was my tax man, so he was always great fun to listen to whenever I had a tax question. He was a true expert in his field, both in tax accounting and flying planes. One of Pete's proudest moments was when he was about 40 years old and he repossessed Edi Amin’s private jet and returned it to the Israeli’s....
