SKIADAS, George

“Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there, I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sun on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning’s hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
Of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft stars that shine at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry;
I am not there, I did not die.”

Gone too soon but loved and remembered in ways that
are personal and meaningful to all who knew him.

Dad, may you rest in peace. We are grateful for the life
you gave us and the time we shared. Forever in our
hearts, always in our thoughts.

Toula, Leeya, Oscar, Grace (in heaven) and Austin.

George touched the lives of many with his presence. He leaves behind those who loved him in different ways, each holding their own memories close. I am forever grateful for the love and history we shared and I will carry that with me always.

We’re here with heavy hearts, thinking of George and the love he brought to so many.

I didn’t know George personally, but through Maree, I feel like I understood the kind of man he was. The way she spoke about him was always full of love, pride, and respect—and that says so much.

Maree, the bond you shared with George—and with Costa as twins—is something truly special. A connection like that doesn’t fade; it stays with you, always.

My heart also goes out to George’s wife and children. Even without knowing them, you can feel how much he meant to his family, and how deeply he was loved.

Being married into a Greek family, I’ve come to understand just how much family means—how strong those ties are, and how that love carries you, especially at times like this.

To Maree, Costa, George’s wife and children, and your whole family—I’m so deeply sorry. Thinking of you all and sending love and strength as you support each other through this.

Αιωνία του η μνήμη
(May his memory be eternal)

Καλό Παράδεισο
(May he rest in paradise)

Gone too soon, but never forgotten. His love will always live on in all of you.

It is with sad condolences to the family. George was a man full of life. Every time we met up he was helpful in every way that you could think of rest in peace George from Melanie.

Thinking of you all at this sad time

Dear Costa and Family,
Sorry to hear this sad news about George
Condolences from my family to yours

To my cousin George. You are such a beautiful and gentle soul. You made me feel wonderful and special every time we met. Always pragmatic, kind, and full of wisdom and joy. I truly enjoyed your company and the times we had together. They are ours and I love you for them. I will dearly miss you. This was too soon. May you rest in peace now.

George was a man whose presence left a mark on everyone who knew him. A loving brother, a devoted husband and a proud father, he carried his family in his heart every day of his life. He was also a cherished uncle, a steady and caring figure to his nieces and nephews, someone they could look up to and rely on.

George had a way about him — quiet strength, kindness, and a warmth that made people feel safe and valued. He gave his love freely, and in return, he built a family bound together by respect, loyalty, and deep affection.

Though he passed away in Malaysia, far from many who loved him, he was not alone. He was with his beloved beautiful wife and now rests where he is meant to be — at peace, surrounded in spirit by those who have gone before him.

His absence will be deeply felt, but his memory will live on in the stories, the laughter, and the love he leaves behind in his children, his siblings, and every life he touched.

Rest in peace, George.
A truly beautiful man, forever loved, never forgotten.
