With great sadness, we learned that our brother +George Mihopoulos reposed in Our Lord today, February 16, at the age of 98.
Together with his beloved wife +Helen, George was a fixture of our community for decades, and though in recent years we saw George less frequently, when we did, the meeting was always full of joy. Visiting him at the home of his daughter and son-in-law Kathryn & Joseph Lattuca, who diligently cared for him and attended to his every need, we could see that his mind was sharp, his trademark humor had not faded, and that he patiently bore his struggles with beauty and grace. We remember fondly our celebration of his 95th birthday, photos of which can be found here.
