George I only knew for a short while. He trained me at car sales and I looked up to him. I will never understand why great people are taken too early and George was one of them. He is very missed and spoken of only in positive and frequently. We all will remember him.

George was SO much more than an excellent car salesman. He was a man of honour, sincerity, humour, love, and respect.

And what a tease! In the BEST possible way, of course. Always able to make you feel extremely special as a customer, and friend.

I am very proud to have known him, if only for a few, short years.

My most sincere condolences to the Apostolakos family. George shall be truly missed.

George always had a ready smile and an easy manner with everyone. It was my great fortune to work for such a giving and loving friend. He will be remembered with love and a smile. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Sam & Dianne and family.

Dearest Apostolakos Family & Significant Other:

George’s passing appeared to be sudden and unanticipated and brusquely gave rise to much sorrow for me. I send my innermost sincere encouraging thoughts and my great heartfelt hopes to all of you. I was privileged to grow up with, to come to know and to be positively influenced by George through the years. Although our life journeys took us upon separate paths over the years, the last time I spoke with George was approximately 3 weeks ago and, during of which, he spoke the most honorable words about his family and significant other. He appeared to be the most comfortable and the happiest I have known him to be and we were making plans to once again reunite our friendship journeys! George’s spirit has always been one of authenticity, compassion, support, commitment, dedication and optimism. His being may have transitioned to the spiritual world but his tender and illuminating spirited beauty will unquestionably remain breathing and thriving, spiritually flourishing the lives, I am certain, of all those who knew and dearly loved him. With Utmost Sincerity, Revekka Kakoullis

George was a great man, he always had the biggest smile on his face and always had a way of making your bad day into a great one. He always had the best stories to tell, he lived a great and exciting life and he was greatly loved and always be. All my love to his parents and brother that he loved so much and to Bonnie who was his world.

George was my mentor in many ways at Frontier Honda. He had a wealth of knowledge and was always willing to share it and support others in their sales efforts. A truly selfless man. It is amazing how many lives George touched in such a positive way. A good friend and fellow worker. We will miss George and his smile. Our prayers go to his parents, family and all his close friends.

Dear Sam, Diane and Tony,

We were so shocked and saddened to hear of George's passing, and our hearts go out to you all.

We have many fond memories of flaming Zambucca being served by George in the kitchen at the Frontiersman during our detachment parties. We shared many happy times with George, Tony and both of you, our wedding reception definitely being our happiest!!

George was a man who loved life, and lived it to the fullest. We will always remember his smile, his laugh, and him happily driving away in his Jeep!!

We are keeping you all in our prayers at this time.

God Bless,
