The photo published for the obituary couldn’t have been better! We’ve seen this smile many times, often following one of John’s stories. May John Rest In Peace and sincere condolences to Coleen and the boys. May God bless and keep all of you.

To the family of Dr. Karakitsos, may you be comforted in your moment of sorrow in knowing that he was a kind and beautiful man. For many years he was my late father’s neurologist. Often my father would bring me in my wheelchair with him to appointments in case he forgot something due to Parkinson’s Disease. Dr. Karakitsos was always patient and kind. God Bless You.
