I had the pleasure of working with Chris - Yes, the reality is that you worked with him and not for him - for over 6 years. As a person, businessman, Orthodox Christian who thought out of the box, then invented the box as far as the restaurant business is concerned.
He has inspired me in business as well as life.
When I was 25, my wife just had a baby, he hired me, I told him I needed Health insurance as quickly as possible. He put me on his medical plan from the very first week. I did not have to pay a penny for it!!!!!!!!!!!
I will pray that his Memory Be Eternal. Non Evlogimeno.

My husband and I spent most of our date nights at Christo's when it first opened We have been living in Fl. For 40 yrs.and and still talk of Christo's. I frequently visit my sister up in E. Bridgewater and always have to go to Christo's, first thing. One time, shortly after the Gold Room was added, I came there from my Fl. Visit to see the Gold Room, which was closed off that day, until the other part of the restaurant was full, and Christo opened it just for me when he learned I came all the way from Fl. Just to sit in the Gold Room. He was always at the door to meet and greet his customers. Will always be in our fondest memories. We always compare his Greek salad to everyone's and have NEVER found any better. He will surely be missed. His family should be so proud that he touched so many lives in Brockton and many, many, small surrounding towns. Think about those lucky people in heaven who will share in spending forever with such an Icon. He will always be a part of OUR fondest memories of days gone by. Sincere condolences, Roy and Judy Anderson(Polk City, Fl.)

Many years ago when I was working at Liberty Mutual in Brockton, my fellow employees and I would go to Peter's Lunch every chance we got. The food was always delicious and my particular favorite was their apricot pie. Chris would always bring it hot, right from the oven and serve it to us as we sat at the counter. He was a wonderful man and we all enjoyed listening to his sweet accent. Later, of course, I became a fan of "Christos" and enjoyed many wondrful meals and times there w/ family and friends.
Please accept my sincere sympathy on the loss of your beloved Father. May all your memories sustain you in the days to come.

Your dad was a wonderful man. He touched so many lives with his kindness. He will surely be missed.

My grandparents had their first date at Christos. That night Mr. Tsaganis kissed my grandmother on her cheek, and she was delighted. For every anniversary that followed, they dined at Christos and each time, he would kiss my grandmother on her cheek. On the first anniversary after my grandfather's passing, I took my grandmother to Christos at her request, and when Mr. Tsaganis saw her without my grandfather, he just knew. He took both of her hands and kissed her on the cheek for the last time. It was one of the most heartfelt things I've ever seen. I'd like to think that my grandparents were there to greet him, and maybe a kiss on the cheek.

Dear Gigi, Maria & Family: We are very sad to hear about your Dad's passing. Chris was a true friend to our community and just a great man. He loved his patrons and was there for each and every one over the years. We've attended countless birthday parties, reunions, special occasions and Friday nights at Christo's. I was in the first Wedding when Christo's II opened in 1978. I worked at Christo's II with Betsy, met my husband David at Christo's and had lots of fun times with Mom, Charlene, Aunt Lill, MaryAnn & Norma many nights after bowling. We had the Best Birthday Bash for my Mother with an Elvis Impersonator at Christo's. It's always been our neighborhood "Cheers" - where everyone really does know your name. God Bless You Christos and your Family. You made our lives better and a lot more fun! I know you will find the Party in the Gold Room up there! Rest In Peace my friend. Darlene & David Zarella

To Maria and Gigi,
I first met your Mom and Dad in 1979 when I went to them to have a banquet in honor of my Mom, Phyllis, who was State President of the V.F.W. Ladies Auxiliary. I remember your Mom knowing how nervous I was and wanting everything to be perfect put me at ease. And as time drew nearer your Dad assuring me " Don't Worry Everything Will Be Wonderful! " And you know it was, everyone had a great time, the meal was beyond great, the waiters and waitresses could not have done a more surperb job. Now, you Mom and Dad are together again, it will be hard without them, and not having your dad there with you, but remember he is never away from you, he lives in your hearts and mind. God Bless you Family, you all will be in my prayers.

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your Dad. As a little girl growing up in Randolph, Christo's was in our Sunday plans for sure. Going through childhood to adulthood, so many of the generations got to enjoy Christo's. From my parents, siblings, nieces/nephew and then on with my husband. We always had a great meal - especially knowing what days you'd serve Chicken Lemon Soup. :) From soup to salad to meals it was an institution. Here's hoping the family continues their parents wonderful legacy!

Maria & Gigi,My 13 years as Christos first pizza cook is full of many memories of your dad & your mom. We used to have many disagrements,your dad & I but they were always forgotten the next day. He was always a very fair & caring man. I remember you ladies when you both were mere tots. So pretty & inteligent. I thought for sure that someday I would be working for you, however I had to retire.. I will always remember your dad. He was a very hard man to work for but he was always fair. He used to enjoy seeing me on my many trips back home. We would always chat about "back in the day". So sorry for your loss.

May He Rest In Peace.

My heart and thoughts and prayers go out to you and your sister at this time. Your dad was truly one of a kind! I remember my uncle Frank Rizzo taking me to Christos many years ago!

You have a wonderful family. God Bless.

The work ethics I have today, is because of your dad.He hired and fired a lot of people! Those he let go we're not to his standard, those who stayed worked not only for him , but with him!
He will be sadly missed but not forgotten. take
comfort in so many lives one man has touched. I loved and always respected your Dad,
Mom, and you girls
Rest his soul.

Gigi & Maria---There are a lot of words used to discribe your father. As we all know there comes a day when we will die.The things that we leave behind will say a lot about the person.How sad ( one of the words that has been used ) it would have been, if these people who have wrote about this man, had never known Christos George Tsaganis.

I've been going to Christos for over 50 years and CHRISTO was there 90% of the time, he will be sadly missed my sympathy goes to all his family at this time and I hope you continue his legacy. Barbara Bartorelli

I went to school with Maria, and your generous mom and dad always delivered food to our late evening drama club rehearsals. In the 20 years before I moved back to Massachusetts, I would always order 1/2 cooked Christo's pizza to bring back to wherever I was living...truly a taste of home! Christo's was introduced to NJ, and every time I came back home, another couple of pizzas were added to my carry home order! Like his kindness and generosity, his pizzas found their way around the country!
Rest in peace. You were one of the richest men I ever met.

Maria, I was saddened to hear of the loss of your Dad. I live in Arizona now and some one I met heard my accent and when I said I was from Brockton he said "did you know Christo passed ?" He was a man known around this whole country. He always paged my last name as "Barrrton" not Martin. lol My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. love ya Steve Martin

Very sorry about the passing of one of Brockton's most generous individuals. Christo was one who could be counted on to donate to any cause and would always provide a gift certificate for fundraising whenever asked to do so, without question. It was always a pleasure to meet people outside of Brockton who knew Chris and listen as they spoke so highly of him. My condolences to the Tsiganis family.

Many fond memories of a very personal and close friend. I still remember him and your mom dancing to the song "I Did It My Way" when we honored him as the Boy Scouts Man of the Year. They danced with pride to the admiration of all of us. I proudly served with him on the BRA and as a former City Counsellor I consulted with him on many issues and respected his opinion. He will be sadly peace and may he rest in peace.

Certainly a role model to follow. A prince of a man, and heavens gift to us all , he will be so missed by so many. A true game changer and a heart as big as his work ethic and his intelligence. A Hero of many of us, myself included. I am so sorry to hear of his passing.

For many years my father, Nicholas Galateros, would meet at the restaurant with Christo and some other men, all old friends. They'd share opinions, ask questions, etc. When my father was at the Braemoor Nursing, Christo would come and sit with him and hold his hand and encourage him. If we hadn't loved Christo for any other reason (and there were many other reasons)we would have loved him for that. A very special man.

Maria, Gigi and family: Sorry for your loss. My family and friends have been faithful patrons of Christos since 1964 (when we used to order take-out pizza at the window). It seemed that every time we visited your restaurant (over the past 45+ years), Chris was working. We never minded the wait for a table, as we enjoyed just listening to him pronounce the names in his thick Greek accent. He was a hero for the City of Brockton and his generosity and spirit will be missed.

I forgot to mention in my other message that our children would always want to go to Christo. Even when they moved out of MA, they came back there.
I also had my 70th birthday party at your restaurant. It was wonderful. The waitress was super.

Dear Tsaganis family.
You do not know me, but I am Sheila's sister. We have eaten at your restaurant for many years. My dad and mom did too. Your dad thought my dad was Greek because of the name CARAS. We are Jewish, but we thought you dad was very funny.
Our condolances to all of you. May time heal your sorrow. He was a wonderful person and will be missed for sure.

I remember Chris most for his generosity. When I cae to him on behalf of the ForeignStudy League (an organization that gave foreign students a taste of America for a month) and asked him if he would donate a Thanksgiving meal in July, his answer was OF COURSE! In fact, Chris never turned us down for anything!
