His commitment to his customers was unparalleled, dedicated to serving the Revere community and surrounding towns for over 30 years. Peter was also very committed to his Greek roots, his faith and to his many life-long friends. Above all, his greatest commitment and joy was spending time with his family.
Peter is survived by his beloved wife Zoe of Lynn. He was the loving father of daughter Nikki Spyropoulos and her husband Billy of Danvers, and son Steven Fotopoulos and his wife Tina of Needham. He was the proud grandfather "Papou" to his grandchildren, Peter, Dimitri, Zoe, Lexi, Demi and Chloe.
