It is with great sadness that we say goodbye to our father, Peter Christou, who passed away after a long struggle with his health on November 5, 2021, at Burnaby General Hospital.
Dad was tremendously loved and will be missed by his wife of 66 years, Theodora. They met in Athens and quickly fell in love and started their family
Later in 1971, we immigrated to Canada all together to start a new chapter in our lives. He worked many jobs, went to school, and once again he started working in the electrical field to provide for his family. In our eyes, he was the greatest teacher we have ever had. We truly have been blessed to call him Baba (Pops).
He also will be missed by his devoted sons George (Mary), Kirk (Celeste), Jim (Cindy), his grandchildren and great-grandchildren which he deeply loved. Dad leaves his brother Jim, sister Dimitria and many nieces and nephews, all of whom he cherished.
Dad was a loving, giving, humorous and at times a stubborn Greek. His love for life and especially his dedication to his family was evident to everybody. He enjoyed traveling back to his homeland throughout the years. We know Dad is watching over us from above and we will always treasure the memories we made with him.
The Funeral Service will be celebrated on Wednesday, November 24, 2021, at 1:00 pm at St. Nicholas & Dimitrios Greek Orthodox Church 4541 Boundary Road, Vancouver, BC. Private Burial to follow at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Burnaby, BC.
We would like to thank all our family and friends for giving us comforting words of condolences.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of BC & Yukon.
