George Samoulides Obituary
December 1, 1925 - December 19, 2022
Born December 1, 1925. Passed away on December 19, 2022 at the age of 97.
He was the family patriarch, a native San Franciscan and an extraordinary man.
George was the son of immigrant parents, John and Fanny (Abage) from Asia Minor. He was married to his loving wife Artemis Angel (deceased) for over 70 years. Together they raised two sons Steven (Jeannette) and Greg (Veronica).
George was proud of his children, their families and their accomplishments. His grandson Brian (Charity) and great granddaughter Avery always put a smile on his face.
He leaves a sister Ann Scourkes (Gus – deceased), sisters in-law Dorothea Christon (deceased) and Thalia Stavrinides, along with many nephews, nieces and cousins both here and in Greece and Uruguay.
As part of the Greatest Generation, George served his country during World War II in the Marine Corps with the First Marine Division, Seventh Marines on Okinawa and completed his service in China.
George retired from CalTrans as a Senior Transportation Engineer and volunteered his time in helping others. He devoted his time to the YMCA Camp program at La Honda along with the father/son Indian Guide program. He was active for many years with the church OYAA program and the Greek Orthodox Lynx Fellowship Golf Club.
George was a Past President of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church Parish Council and Chairman of the School Advisory Board. He was also Past President of the Yerba Buena Angling Club, Past Big SIR of the SIRS Branch #4, and Past President of the Resident Association at his assisted living facility.
George's ever-present smile brought joy to many. He loved travelling the world with his wife. He was an avid gardener, pinochle player, golfer and philatelist.
The Samoulides genealogy was a long-time passion project that he continuously worked on.
Funeral services will be held at the Greek Orthodox Memorial Park, Colma on Tuesday, December 27 at 12:00. Makaria (lunch) will follow at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church, 999 Brotherhood Way, SF, 94132.
