We mourn the passing of our beloved husband, father, son, brother, and dear friend Michael Banis. He died peacefully in his sleep after a 4-year battle with cancer. We will always remember him for the joy he brought to each of us, the happiness and kindness he never failed to display, and for the revelry for which he was known. He will always be missed across the world, from Astoria to his little town of Dafia in Greece. In lieu of flowers please consider making a donation in memory of Michael Banis. Donations will go towards a fund that will be used for the betterment of his hometown of Dafia and funeral expenses.
