Gerassimos Rouchotas, Peacefully, surrounded by his loving family passed away on August 7, 2016 at the age of 71. Beloved husband of Sophia. Devoted and cherished father of Andrew and his wife Erin, Philip and his wife Heidi and his youngest son John. Adored grandfather to Katryna Sophia and Sophia Helen. Forever missed by his loving brothers Vlasi, Dimitri and Haralambos and devoted sister Eleni and their families. He was born on June 15, 1945 in Kefalonia Greece in the village of Dematora to loving parents Andreas and Eleni Rouchotas. He left for Athens in his teens to pursue his education in electrical engineering and met his loving bride Sophia. Soon after graduation they immigrated to Canada and began their life in Toronto. Gerassimos, with all his brilliance and extraordinary work ethic, became an entrepreneur at a very early age and established a successful business that would last over 3 decades. His devotion to providing for his family and the pursuit to giving them an improved life with better opportunities for his children drove his success. The core tenants he fought so hard to live by; resilience, strength, character and discipline, were passed on to his three sons and will forever live on in his legacy. For many years he spent the time he had outside of work primarily around two things; first supporting his children's extracurricular activities and seeing them flourish, and second, he put his heart into his beautiful gardens. Gerassimos and his beloved wife Sofia together raised a strong and healthy family and he has spent his lifetime enjoying them. His last role as Papou became his most cherished.
