John K. Pasalis, aged 91, cherished husband of the late Mariana (nee Karpathakis); devoted father of Charles, Diana Chalkias (John), and Pamela Pasalis; doting grandfather of Nicholas and Yanni Chalkias, and Peter Patsouras; beloved brother of George Pasalis (and the late Sophie), the late Kiki Skliros and fondly remembered uncle to numerous nieces and nephews.
John embarked on a remarkable journey from Dimitsana, Greece, as a young man, where he began a beautiful new chapter in his life alongside his beloved Mariana. His life's journey led him to the heart of the restaurant industry, where he dedicated decades of hard work, culminating in the ownership of John's Diner in Lakewood for over 45 years.
Throughout his rich and vibrant life, John was surrounded by family and many friends who loved him, because he was so easy to love. His big personality drew you in, and his contagious laughter made you want to stay.
Thank you Dad for your extraordinary love and for sharing with us your beautiful life. Spending each day with you was a gift, and we are eternally grateful.
He was always our Father, who also became our Best Friend. He will forevermore be our Hero.
We Love you always. We will miss you forever.
