Condolence: To my sons grandfather,and to a man I truly adored but got so little time with. A Successful Man."That man is a success-who has lived well,laughed often and loved much; who has gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of choldren;who has filled his niche and accomplished his task; who leaves the world better than he found it;who has never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty's or failed to express it;who has always looked for the best in others and given the best he had .Whose life was an inspiration ;Whose memory a benediction. U will b sadly missed papou

Condolence: Dear Gus and family, we are so,sorry to hear of your dear Dad's passing. So many fond memories of his fun visits at Stu's Esso. He was so proud of you Gus. He was a tough gentleman, but he sure melted like butter at the mention of Giaco and Ernie. And I'm sure with the other grandchildren. Know that we are here and again our sincere condolences. We cannot be there for the service, but know that we will be there in spirit. Rest in peace Ernie.

Our condolences on the death of your beloved family member. "Kalo Taxidi"

Condolence: Dont cry

Those were the last words spoken from my dad as I held him in my arms and told him thank you for being my dad and that I loved him..As he looked at me not knowing who I was as dementia had robbed him of his memeories and identity he said to me "Dont Cry"......He was at least able to put together his thoughts to some degree...Long time ago when our grandmother in Greece had reached her time to leave this world and my Dad being the apple of her eye she requested to see him one last time....My Dad said NO Im not going as he hung his head with grief for me it was a horrible thing to hear you didnt want to go say good-bye to your Mother? that took me by suprise and I was a little hurt by his words, my thoughts were how aweful of a person that you must be not wanting to go........These thoughts plagued me till now today as I know and understand why he thought like that.........Grief and loss are handled by people in different ways, some drink alcohol to numb the pain others do what ever they can to find some comfort.That was my Dads way of dealing with grief and now it is my way as well...Watching my father deteriorate over the years was not easy to deal with, he was a mountain of a man powerful proud man never spoke a lie to anyone, yes he had his demons as we all do to deal with but he was a straight shooter of a man........To see him at the seniors home not being able to speak any words while wearing sanitary garments holding onto a walker trying to navigate to his room.Was not my Dad's way of living he did have a sharp wit and could floor you with it,Im sure for anyone at this stage in life feeling dependent on others to function is heartbreaking...I understand his thoughts at the time of his mother passing and wanting to see him very clearly today, its not an easy thing to say to anyone "Goodbye" for the last time.I prefer to hold onto his last words to me "Dont cry" and to remember him standing up proud as he always was holding him in my arms this mountain of a man who I feared most of my life but respected him like no other in this world........The Greek people have a saying in times like this.."Kalo Taxidi" meaning Good Journey to where we all go at the end of our lives to be once again united with our Ancestors once again to meet up with souls of family and friend we shared our lives with.Now we are saying it to him,as he lives on in our memories and in our hearts to those who knew him at this level, tough,difficult,old school guy with values lost by todays standards,in his heart was a different type of person a very soft man who would tear up in a second a sensitive man hiding being his favourite glass of wine and a players smoke or two deep in thought,we all have taken something from him for some of us we have his softness his heart his was of dealing with grief......."Kalo Taxidi" Dad .....Dance upon the stars in heaven as I look upwards I will now being watching you from here until we meet again.............your son....Kostas
