It is with great sadness and much sorrow that we announce the peaceful passing of Eleftherios (Terry) Giosmas on Monday, January 31st at the age of 93, surrounded by loving family at Michael Garron Hospital. Born in Nafplion, Greece, he served in the Greek Armed Forces as a young man and later became a mechanical engineer. He immigrated to Canada with his family in the early 60's. Terry was an enormous and passionate soccer fan; he played, coached and managed many soccer teams over the decades and was instrumental in establishing the 'Homer Greek Soccer Association' in Toronto. He loved politics, travelling, reading, sports and was a huge dog lover (always sharing his meal with the family dog). He was very proud of his culture and believed that everything originated from the Greeks, just like Gus Portokalos in the movie ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding'. A very giving and thoughtful man, Terry had a zest for life and for having a good time. Predeceased by his beloved wife, Caterina (2011), he is survived by daughter Harriet (Dennis). Proud Pappou of Mary (Chris) and Eric and adored by his two great-grandchildren, Logan and Gabriella. Heartfelt thanks to the doctors and nurses in G5 at Micheal Garron Hospital for their kind and compassionate care. Dad, you will be forever loved and missed.

Due to the current situation and restrictions, the family will be holding a private memorial service at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church followed by a burial service at Pine Hills Cemetery on Monday February 7th, 2022. In lieu of flowers, a contribution in his honour would be appreciated: Alzheimer’s Society of Toronto, a local youth soccer club or a charity that is close to your heart.
