Andreas C

Kamilaris

Andreas C. Kamilaris passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Saturday, December 29, 2012. Andreas was born on the island of Cyprus located in the beautiful Mediterranean Sea. He went to work early in life, at the age of 12, training as a mason in order to expertly craft marble as a master mason. He loved to sing classic Greek folk songs and also loved to dress in fine-tailored suits. While in Cyprus, he married Maroulla Georgiou. Sponsored by his brother Sotris Kamilaris, he was able to move to the United States where he worked with his brother at Rudy's Hot Dog; he eventually retired in 1986. For the past 27 years, he has greeted patrons at his sons' restaurant Georgio's Cafe International and is fondly remembered sitting in the front cleaning fresh green beans. With very few words, he advised his children to always do the right thing.
Andreas is preceded in death by his parents Christos and Elpida Kamilaris. He will be deeply missed by his wife Maroulla, sister Eve Kokkinou; brother Sotris; sons George (Lori) and Chris (Aleca); daughter Athena and grandchildren Sarah, Anthony, Andreas, Marios and Giorgos.
