Constantine George Foukas was called to heaven this week. Born in Rizes, Greece on February 23, 1935, he reached the age of 88. Gus (as he was known by friends and family) was predeceased by wife Sylvia, son Michael, siblings Panagiota, Marina, and Nikki. He is survived by daughter Elaine, her husband Tim, son George and his wife Joyce, grandchildren Cody, Alexi, Luke, Jacob, siblings Tom, John, Maria, Olympia, Angie and many nieces and nephews.
Gus immigrated to the US as a child and self-taught English and many skills. He became a successful businessman in restaurant, automotive, and real estate ventures, retiring in New Mexico for the climate.
Constantine was very devoted to the church and assisted in fund raising, organization, assistance in festivals and anything necessary. He will be missed by family, friends, and congregation members. We know he is now at peace with his maker.
