Obituary of John Tatoulis

John Tatoulis passed away peacefully surrounded by his four children on Sunday December 28, 2008 at the age of 67 years. John was born in Kastri, Greece to Pete and Vicky Tatoulis and was one of eight children. He first came to Canada in the mid 1960’s then returned to Greece and married Erasmia Tatoulis before coming back in 1973. John went on to have four children and eventually settled in Drumheller, AB where he owned a restaurant for 15 years. He was always friendly, kind and generous to all he met and most especially his children. Family was the most important thing to him and he will always be remembered by them for the warm hearted, loving father, grandfather, brother and uncle that he was. John spent the last part of his life confined by dementia and although we feel the pain of his passing we are comforted by the knowledge that he has moved on to a greater place where he is finally free. We love you Dad and we know you will be watching over us from your beautiful home in the sky until one day when we will meet again. John is survived by his four children Vicky, Helen (Bob), Pete, and Steve. He had five beautiful grandchildren Paytan, Parker, Jaxon, Seth and Mariah. He is also survived by his brothers George, Nick, and Gus and his sisters Kathy, Kiki, and Toula as well as a large extended family that will all miss him dearly. He was predeceased by his oldest brother, Tom.
