Fr. John, Galenos, was a beloved classmate of mine at Seminary at Holy Cross Greek Orthodox School of Theology in Brookline, MA from where we both graduated in 2005 and went on to be ordained as Priests of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America. Galenos was always a caring and fun loving friend. Christos Anesti, and may his memory be eternal. +Fr. Emanuel

My memories of Fr. John are from the high school aged days at St. Spyridon in San Diego, Ca. We had many great times in Sunday School and with the GOYA activities & events, as well as all the parish functions. Always warm and friendly, he will be sorely missed by us all in San Diego. May his memory be truly eternal.
