KIRIKOPOULOS, Georgios (George) - It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Georgios (George) Kirikopoulos on November 18, 2019.
He died peacefully in his home in Maple at the age of 82.
George leaves behind his loving wife, Leila, and his daughters, Athena and Eleni (Orlando).
Dear brother of Sophia and the late Avram.
George came to Canada from Greece in 1964 and remained a proud Pontian Greek who never forgot his roots.
He had a passion for learning and educating and spent a great deal of his life doing both, especially as a faculty member at the University of Toronto from 1976 to his retirement in 2003.
His love of books, his humility, humanity and sense of humour left a mark on all those who got to know him over the years.
We all miss you greatly. Per his wishes, there will be no funeral.
Instead, the family will hold a private celebration of his life with family and friends in the near future.
