I thank you for the love and laughter I was blessed to share with you and your precious family. Our Christmas table will have one less chair and a little less laughter. Rest in peace Uncle George---love you,

Dear Harry and Dean, May George Rest In Peace and his Memory be Eternal. My husband John and attended numerous Dances where George's Band would be playing - we were very active in the JOY and OY. I am Caroline Dimoglis' daughter Elaine Akouris. I have resided in Southern California for 38 years, but have many, many memories of the Poulos Family. I often would spend an overnight visit with Olga, who would draw beautiful pictures of women wearing designed gowns that she had created. I also remember the great parties when the Poulos Family lived in my grandparents' 4 unit building at 48th & Wentworth. All tenants were Greek Families, who would prepare specialty items for enormous Holiday Dinner Parties. Great times with Family. With all my love, Your Cousin Elaine

I worked with George approximately 33 years ago. I was a young girl, and I remember George was always helpful and patient. He would always help with any questions I would have. He was a nice man with character & work ethics. Peggy Folliard Duffy
