George was born in Spathari, Greece in 1928. He served in the Greek military before he met his beloved wife Anna. They moved their family to Montreal, Canada and then eventually landed in the United States in 1972. George was a long-time cook at the Busy Bee Restaurant in Brookline and was known as much for his delicious cooking as he was for his infectious smile and kind words. George thoroughly enjoyed his time in the garden and he left his mark with the numerous trees, plants and flowers that he cared for around his own home, and with the saplings that found homes and grew in the yards of many friends and relatives. Above all, George is best known for the constantlove he showed to his family and friends in both words and deeds. He will be greatly missed by his family and his many friends.
