To all the family- we have enjoyed a generation of flowers from your wonderful store . But I always enjoyed seeing him quietly working in the back, and always relied on his opinion for corsages and Communion bouquets and other flowers over the years. He lived a long and productive life in Greece and the USA. Evia has another angel in heaven.
