Spiros Hoidas Obituary
Spiro arrived to America in the early '60s for a better life with only a few dollars in his pocket. He embraced this country while supporting his Greek community here and back home. Spiro was a successful restauranteur for over fifty years, most notably as the co-owner of the Blue Angel Restaurant. He worked tirelessly to model a strong work ethic and instilled the core values that his children live by today - integrity, humility and philotimo. Spiro enjoyed spending time in his garden, watching cowboy movies, attending his grandchildren's activities and cheering on the Blackhawks. Spiro will be missed by many.
Due to the ongoing pandemic, the funeral and burial services will be private.

OMG!!! I was just looking at pictures you posted on facebook with your Dad!!! My heart goes out to you and Angela and to your entire family! Most of us who grew up together and went to grade school together had hard working immigrants as parents. I loved that you included his bio in his obituary! It made me smile to see you had such a loving father, role model and hero as your father! My prayers are with your entire family. Let theLords perpetual light shine upon Spiro! Hugs and kisses...Susan Dlugopolski-Dudek
