Not sure what to say?

God bless you Shelly and Yvette and the rest of his family and friends. I knew Spiros just through friends in high school and remember a funny likeable young man. What a blessing to hear of his 28 year marriage and loving wife and daughter. Rest in Peace and Godspeed friend, may God comfort your family and friends with loving arms full of grace.

May God bless his loving wife and daughter. May you both find peace in the loss of your husband and father, know he is at home with our Lord and you will see him again. Love and blessings

I'm so sorry for your loss. We weren't close friends, but I remember him fondly! The Angels have called him home, although early he is at peace. May God give you the Peace needed to face this difficult time...Prayers and blessings, Janis McShane Reynolds

Shelly, I knew you before you were in high school and send my condolences to you and your family.
Spiros and I were friends in high school. He always made me laugh and I have remembered him often. He would always give me a big bear hug and I could see his big smile from across the campus. His friendship will always have a special place in my heart.
My prayers are with you.

I was friendly with Spiros in high school as well. But, what I really remember about him was he was on the Reseda high school soccer team. Him and a few other foreign players who knew what the heck soccer was and how to play it! God speed Spiros and hopefully you have found better players up there and are having fun. Please accept my condolences for someone who was larger than life even back in high school.

I am so sorry to hear of Spiros passing. I went to high school with him and while we lost track of him, I remember him fondly. Mostly because he knew alot about soccer which had not yet become popular in Los Angeles in the 70's!!! God bless you Spiros!

Dear Shelly and Yvette,
You know how much you and Spiros meant to Tom and I and the whole Clark family. We loved coming in to see you all the time and everyone loved to watch Tom and Spiros banter back and forth. So much laughter and fun our family had with yours. The Athenian Grill was always our "special place" as you know.
My heart is a little heavy today. My thoughts and prayers are with you. I know Spiros and Tom are having a great laugh together tonight.
Love to you...

So sorry for your loss Shelly and Yvette. I will miss Spiros sense of humor and the fact that he always laughed and smiled when he saw me. RIP you pain is over and you are in the hands of God now.
