Paleologos family,
Greek law enforcement officers from the region have lost a former colleague, Lt. Gus Paleologos. He was a loveable, kind hearted, and dedicated police officer who did so much to promote his Greek culture. To his entire family, may the memories that mean the most to you live forever in your hearts. May the love you all shared sustain you through this time of sorrow. Please rest in the knowledge that there are many others who share in your loss. Please accept my deepest sympathy. Eonia i Mnimi, Eonia i Mnimi, Eonia i Mnimi.
