STAVROS COSMOPULOS

One of, if not Steve´s first job, was as artist in my father´s advertising agency Denman and Baker, Inc. in Detroit. I have several paintings he made for me and a carving of my father Steve did from a piece of firewood. They didn´t mention it here, but Steve did the artwork for the Eisenhower-Nixon presidential campaign in Michigan. Steve was an amazing artist and and amazing friend.

Thank you Marley. I have a lot of his art in my house and specifically framed his "poem/essay" The River of Ideas. Miss his flowing thoughts and creativeness. One day brought him an idea of a dog toy...all he said was, "It will not sell in China" - opened up my thinking to selling internationally.

I found a small piece of his art in a curio shop in Gloucester and thankfully he dedicated and signed it on the back. After reading these lovely comments and other articles about his life, the small piece of his art will be treasured by me for years to come. I do not know Stavros personally and it appears I might have missed out on a great human. Thankfully our art out lives us all.

I worked for Steve as a young 20 year old. My very first job. He made me meet him at 4:30am in the morning. I was his personal assistant for 2 years sitting directly outside of his office. I remember many crazy times.... I will always remember him giving me my first job out of college (well actually I hadn't graduated from BC) but he hired me anyways...2 months in advance of it. Hope everyone who worked there is doing well. All the best the Cosmopolus family! Steve was one of a kind! Prayers...

I bet he still has that cat's eye marble where I tucked it in his vest pocket. xx dvr

I still miss him-frequently, read the framed Stavros words called "River of Ideas." Rachel Selikoff, MBA+30

I met him when I was a window clerk at a post office in downtown Boston. We had some great conversations. He was the person who invented the OFD slogan - originally from Dorchester!

We are all lucky enough to meet memorable people in our lives, on occasion, but few of us are fortunate enough to meet someone who you could never forget. For me that Stravros (Steve) Cosmopulos. Kind, Compassionate and generous are just a few words that describe him best. Rest in peace my friend and may God have mercy on your soul.

Still miss Steve after all these years...still want to run ideas by him and listen to his thoughts...realized when read people's comments, that my name was not listed after my past submission...I am the one that wrote about him as my friend and mentor. Rachel Selikoff, MBA+30
