Panagiotis 'Peter' Boloudakis, age 81, passed away peacefully surrounded his beloved family on Friday, March 8, 2024, at 10 p.m., following a courageous battle. The youngest of 7, he was born on May 25, 1942 in Chania, Crete, Greece to parents Angeliki and Georgios Boloudakis. In 1966, he immigrated to Toronto, Canada, yet maintained a strong connection to his birthplace, frequently returning there. His final summer was spent in Chania, where he filled his heart and grounded his roots one final time before returning to Toronto.

Peter is survived by his devoted wife of 52 years, Kathy, his loving children, Spiro George, Dianna Artemis Paw and her husband Andrew, Steven and his wife Tonia, as well as his cherished grandchildren, Anderson Lukas, Blake Alexander, and Christian Michael.

Leaving behind a legacy of kindness and love, Peter will forever be remembered as a strong yet gentle soul who adored his family above all else, stood as a steadfast friend, and extended a helping hand to all in need. Peter's family takes immense pride in his unwavering perseverance and lifetime achievements, cherishing them until his last breath. His journey serves as an ongoing source of inspiration, a testament to the enduring love and strength within. He will be deeply missed.

A memorial service to celebrate Peter's life will be held on March 12, 2024, at 11 a.m. at Pine Hills Funeral Centre, 625 Birchmount Road, Toronto. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada or to St. Michael’s Neurology Department in Peter's honour.
