Obituary of Mr. Athanasios Tsilikas

Mr. Athanasios (Tom) Tsilikas, age 82, passed away unexpectedly at his home on Sunday, February 7th, 2021. He was born on April 9th, 1938 in Vervena Greece to George and Yiannoula Tsilikas. He was a loving husband to Antonia for 59 years, and proud father to Joanna and George (Alana). He will be remembered by his grandkids, Athan and Nikolas; brother, Dimitrios (Margheta) and sister, Stella (George) Petrakis.  Athanasios was predeceased by his sister, Katerina (Paraskevas) Tsoulos.

"Tom" will be forever remembered for his fruitful garden, impeccable lawn, infectious smile, insatiable love for his grandkids and his selfless want to put others needs before his own.

He'll be missed in body, but never forgotten in spirit. We are eternally grateful for a lifetime of memories that will live on for generations to come. 

The world was a better place when he was with us, but the heavens have gained an angel!

I’m Free
Don’t grieve for me, for now I’m free;
I took His hand when I heard Him call;
I turned my back and left it all.
If my parting has left a void;
then fill it with remembered joy.
My life’s been full, I savored much;
good friends, good times,
a loved one’s touch.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss;
ah yes, these things, I too, will miss.
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief;
don’t lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and share with me;
God wanted me now, He set me free.
