Nicholas CONTAXAKIS

CONTAXAKIS, Nicholas. (1922-2008) It is with great sadness in our hearts that we mourn the passing of our patriarch, our Papou. Beloved husband of the late Angeliki, cherished father of George (Silvia), Soula (Elias), grandfather of Mary (Tim), Nicholaos (Marcella), Stefan, Thomas (Veronique). He leaves to mourn four generations, from his brother and sister to his great-grandchildren. A veteran of World War Two, his struggle in the end was a difficult one to which surrender was only given after a long courageous battle. His departure leaves a void in the lives of his loving family and countless friends and acquaintances. He will be remembered for his many community contributions and his ever-enduring smile, the likes of which had no equal. Final respects can be given on Wednesday September 10, from 2 to 5 and from 7 to 9 at Urgel Bourgie, 1255 Beaumont, TMR, H3P-3J1. Funeral services will be held on Thursday September 11 at 10:30 a.m. at Evangelismos tis Theotokou church, 777 Saint Roch, H3N-2X2. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Alzheimer's Society. The family would also like to extend its deepest gratitude to the staff of the Jewish General hospital for 26 years of committed and dedicated service.
