Demetrios Koutsothanassis A soldier, a farmer, a Sheppard, a brother, a husband, a father and my grandfather. He passed away Tuesday July 6th, and I am going to miss him more than I can say.
I understand where I get my sense of humor, my trouble making skills and rebellious nature from as I hear the members of my family reminisce about him and the pranks he played when he was young.
He made it to the ripe old age of 97 despite the many illnesses that tried to take him over the past 30 years. The man was a fighter, and obviously a winner. He kept his flock of sheep until 2006.
It's hard to imagine that he's gone after being around for so long.
My grandmother survives him and so do his children, many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He lived a long life, experiencing the good and bad this century had to offer; including the wars, and great depression.
God bless you grandpa, you are missed.
