Not sure what to say?

I just read the KSU alumni mag and saw the passing of Peter Karis. So many years ago at Kent, Peter was a fraternity brother. I am saddened by his passing, even if we have been out of touch all these years. I remember him as a quietly determined art/architecture student, making so many models. He had a wonderful varied successful life, something of which you could see back then! I can speak only for myself, but I am sure there are many of our brothers equally as stunned and saddened as I was...

My Condolences to The family. Both he and Maggie were always so great to work with in Cleveland. Always a gentleman and a great soul. My thoughts are with you Maggie during this trying time.

Sending heartfelt condolences.

I remember growing up with my cousin in North Jersey,he was always kind and loved to draw even as a young boy,his Mom and Dad (Uncle Harry,Aunt Irene) are the best.He is at home with them.

Our deepest sympathy to you all. We were friends in our younger years at Kent .

My condolences to the family of Peter Karis. He was a wonderful painter and a kind and generous man. Though I did not know him well personally, he was always a true pillar of the arts on Hilton Head and supporter of artists. He will be missed.

Dear Karis Family,
I enjoyed sharing your last year in Mentor when Nick was in second grade. I hope Hilton Head holds many good memories that will comfort you in your loss. Deepest sympathy.

To the Karis family; you are in our thoughts and prayers. So sorry for your loss.

Peter was a great friend and client from my early years in Cleveland Real Estate. My deepest sympathy and sorrow for his loss goes out to his entire family - especially to Maggie, Nick & Marina. RIP Pete, you were one of the best, and I'll always keep you in my memory.
