Praying God's comfort as you grieve the loss and celebrate his life. He will be greatly missed. I met you when my daughter and son in law (Rachel and Andy) attended college in Chicago and lives in the neighborhood of Yango's. May God bless you with all you need in the coming days and months.

Dear Eleni, George, Becky, Harriet, Michael, and Peter we are so saddened to hear about Iakovos and offer our deepest condolences to the Patsais family. May the God of all comfort be with you during this difficult time. Matthew 5:4

Dear Eleni,
Leslie and I are so sorry to hear about Yango's passing.
We always enjoyed coming in to see both of you and so much enjoyed the entire menu.
I also loved making a little wager with him and speaking Greek to both of you, even though I'm not Greek.
He always would say to you when we came in that the Evrayo
Is here.
Yasu to you and your family.
Harry and Leslie Frank
