George James Karas of Boca Raton, FL passed away surrounded by his wife and children on Sunday, March 11, 2018 at the age of 79. Born in Chicago, IL on March 3, 1939, he was the son of the late Chris and Constantina Kalopeses and brother of Sophie Pontikis. George was a successful business owner, dedicated and hardworking, but always had time for fun with family and friends. George loved life and his kind heart and infectious smile drew others to him.
