John G. Prassas, 94, of Williamsburg was born on October 18, 1928 and passed away on October 26, 2022. He was an immigrant who came to the United States as a young man looking for a better life. He found happiness as a restauranteur, husband and father. His children and grandchildren were his pride and joy. An avid sportsman, he lived vicariously through his children's sports throughout their high school years and followed any and all sports throughout his life.
