My Mother has passed away and is buried in Anchorage Alaska next to my Father.....My older sister is named after my Grand Mother, her name is Phyllis. My Mother told me about her family and her Father and sister and Uncles......When John and
Felianthe Anna (Phyllis)separated it was rough going........
He was very kind ( My Grand Father) and I will tell you this: He would anonymously give food and milk to widows and children around town, nobody knew it was him until he passed away! This is how he passed......He had just been to the doctor a week before and all the tests showed that he was healthy, even the Dr. told him that he was like a 25 year old man! He was doing amazing physical feats even then, he would take 2 chairs and go on his hands and lift his body up with legs lifted towards the ceiling.....Well anyways he died while walking on the side walk, just like that, boom down and over. BUT the very sad thing is that when they opened his wallet to see who he was they found out he had been robbed!!!!! He was giving and good........So this was very cruel. Remember this is what my Mother told me about my Grand Father.....He also wrote a book called 'God fearing man' BUT I do not know if it was ever published and if it ever was, I would love to read it. I do remember her saying that Byron and Leander where Doctors? Her sister, (Angelika) or (Angela) went to the Juilliard School of music? She also played the violin and sang beautifully......Today is actually my Mothers Birthday! I was raised Greek Orthodox in Anchorage Alaska. My Mother Stella had many Greek friends there and was active in the church......This makes me so happy that you wrote back!!!! Thank you
