I met Jen at Rogers many years ago. She was in the office (managing what seemed like everything) and I was on the road. We quickly became good friends and would laugh about so many things including her being of Scottish heritage and myself hailing from Liverpool to silly tales of Mac - her and Paul's dog.
Jen, you were one special lady. Smart, strong, kind, caring, and always looking to do the right thing. You will be greatly missed by so many.

On Wednesday, November 6th, our family said goodbye to our stubborn, feisty, but always loving matriarch, Elpida Tsakamas (née Koliotassis). Born on April 14, 1927, in the tiny Greek village of Makrohori, Elpida was the eldest child of the late Theodoros and Kalliope Koliotassis.
Elpida loved music and dancing, meeting her husband, Anastasios, at a dance. Together, they immigrated to Canada, where they built a successful family restaurant, The Country Hearth. She was immensely proud of her family’s accomplishments and was devoted to raising her grandchildren. She leaves behind a legacy of love, warmth, and resilience.
She is survived by her daughter Sophia (Papadopoulos), six grandchildren, and eleven great-grandchildren. She is reunited now with those who predeceased her: her husband Anastasios, son George, and her siblings Dimitrius, Christina, Constantina, and Spiros. We will miss Elpida’s delicious pita, but we will miss her presence in our lives even more.
Elpida’s funeral will be a private family event on Tuesday, November 12. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Heart and Stroke Foundation or Diabetes Canada.
"You left us beautiful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always by our side."

The family grew the following year with the birth of their youngest daughter, Judy, and over time, was blessed with grandchildren and a great-grandchild.
Desi approached life’s challenges with an inventive mind and loved the outdoors, music, and playing the guitar in his younger years. His interest in astronomy was a joy he shared with others, and he will be remembered for his bold personality and dedication to his family. Desi will be deeply missed by his loving wife Marta (Horvath), daughters Marta and Judy, son David, son-in-law William, grandchildren Max, Natasha, Nicolas, and his great-grandson Logan, along with extended family and friends.
He will be missed and forever loved…
