May this sweet, sad, servant of the Lord find the peace and end of suffering in the arms of our blessed Redeemer.

Please...

Jan, Nikos, Lizzie and Mr. & Mrs. Roukas, My love and prayers go out to you. Petros was a gifted teacher and he truly opened my eyes to much of my spiritual growth. He has left a legacy behind. I praise God we will meet again!

To the Roukas family: I heard and learned so much about the kind of man Petros was from my dear friends, Matt and Brooke Smith. I pray for the encouragement of the Lord's Spirit in these difficult days for all of you. May you be comforted in knowing that Petros has finally found the peace that eluded him here.

My deepest condolences and sympathies to the Roukas family. My prayers go out to you.

Dear Jan, Nikkos, and Lizzie,
We were saddened to hear about Petros. The love, laughter, and faith he shared with us for the 10+ years in Muncie, will not be forgotten. His special way of sheparding and teaching was truly God's gift to us. May you find comfort in Christ Jesus during this very difficult time.
