To the Pliakas Family, We are very sorry for your loss. Ted was a wonderful neighbor, especially to the kids. We have fond memories of the many hikes he took us all on, and singing songs along the way. As a person, he lived a full & loving life. I'm sure you have so many wonderful memories as a family that will bring you comfort.

To the Pliakas Family,
I would like to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of Eustace.
Euatace was so generous with his time and expertise in law when he helped my son, Nick Pliakas after the loss of his father Stephen W. Pliakas. I hope he knew how much Nick appreciated him.
Again, my sincere sympathies to all.
