It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Sotirios “Sam” Panagakos who passed away peacefully, with his children by his side, on May 14, 2024.

Sam was a man we all remembered for his beautiful smile, and a heart as big as his smile. Sam immigrated to Canada from Anogia, Greece where he met and married his predeceased and beloved wife Eleni, of 64 years of marriage. Sam will be deeply missed by his children John and Perry (Annemarie) and loving Pappou to Olivia, Samantha, Jacob, Elainna and Christian. Survived by his brother Peter (Leta).

With the kindest and most generous soul, his memory will live on forever in our hearts.
