Danny (Dionysios/Διόνυσιος) Pete Skandalakis, 84, of Ormond Beach, FL, passed away peacefully on Saturday, March 24, 2018.   He was born April 23, 1933 in Molaoi, Laconia, Greece to Panagiotis (Pete) and Marika Skandalakis.  He was the sixth of eight siblings and the youngest of four boys.  At 10 years old he lost his father, who was killed in 1943 by the Communists during the uprising.  Completing his military conscription requirements in 1955 with the Royal Hellenic Air Force (RHAF), he then immigrated to the United States in 1956 settling in Atlanta, GA, where he obtained his American Citizenship in 1964.  While in Atlanta he worked in the restaurant, bar, and hospitality industry and lovingly cared for and supported his mother until her death in 1981. In 1987 he moved to Ormond Beach to be close to his eldest sister Stamatiki and became an integral part of helping run the family business.  Mr. Skandalakis was a member of the Saint Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church, in Daytona Beach, the Laconian Society of Atlanta, and a charter member of the Megas Alexandros (Alexander the Great) society of Daytona Beach.  He was a true patriot of both his homeland of Greece and his chosen home, America. He had a love of politics and was a true advocate of the democratic process. Danny was preceded in death by his father and mother; his brothers; John, Renos, & Nick, his sisters; Georgia, Stamatiki, & Anastasia.  He is survived by his youngest sister Calliope, and her husband George, his brother-in-law John ^{(spouse of sister Georgia)} , all of Atlanta, GA; his ex-wife Sharron of Pembroke Pines, FL; and his many cousins, nieces, nephews, and extended family.  He was a loving, sensitive, and compassionate man. His selfless generosity and his willingness to always help others were his greatest virtues and his greatest joys.  He will be greatly missed by all of his family and friends.
