Anthony Hadgis Obituary
He was predeceased by his parents Stamati and Loulouthi Hadgisideris of Chios, Greece; his sister Despina of Athens, Greece, and his brother Kostas of Charlotte, N.C. He was also predeceased by his beloved wife of 39 years, Sophie (Rizas). Tony is survived by his son George (Teresa) of Rochester, N.Y.; and grandchildren Katherine and Nicholas whom he loved dearly, his sister Filia of Athens, Greece and by many cousins; nieces, and nephews both in the U.S. and in Greece.
He served as a Merchant Marine for many years in Greece and had the opportunity to travel the world. In 1959, he came to New Hampshire to meet his many cousins. There, he met his future wife Sophie. They married and settled in Biddeford.
Tony and Sophie were blessed with one son, George, in 1965. He taught George to work hard and encouraged him to go to college to earn a degree in engineering. He was proud of George and happy when he married his wife Terry in 1991. But nothing thrilled him more than the birth of his grandchildren Katherine and Nicholas.
He worked for several companies in southern Maine with a true passion for working with his hands in carpentry, roofing, painting, home repairs, renovations, and remodeling.
In 2017, he moved to Rochester, N.Y. to be closer to his son and family.
