Diamond PARDOS Obituary

PARDOS, Diamond

was born in Washington DC Sept. 12, 1941 and passed Oct. 24, 2017 of a sudden illness. He moved to Florida in 1968 and was a renaissance man working as an artist for the Clearwater Sun, a commercial artist for Honeywell, a commercial fisherman owner of Diamonds Seafood in Largo, fishing from the Done Gone, a sponge diver and harvestor of live rock, and a fresh produce purveyor. He then moved to Virginia where this salty fisherman fell in love with the woods filled with deer he fed and adopted, the streams he fished, and became a mentor for at risk teens. He loved the sea and the woods and the streams and his horses and his many friends and his family. He is survived by his son, Stanley; his wife, Pam; granddaughter, Olivia; and many relatives. Memorial service is noon Friday, November 24, at the Greek Club, 1476 Pinehurst Rd., Dunedin 34698.
