Starting out as a humble dishwasher George went on to become a successful restaurateur over the next 30 years even partnering with the family of actress Nia Vardalos from the critically acclaimed film "My Big Fat Greek Wedding". Moving to Daytona Beach in 1972 many might remember the Nickel Coffee served up by his Sambo's Restaurant franchise at the foot of the Broadway Bridge. George subsequently established a distinguished career as a Broker in Commercial Real Estate before his eventual retirement. A man of irrefutable integrity George's trademark smile touched the lives of many and his altruistic generosity and benevolent spirit will be missed by all. His passion for the church and devotion to his family merits the deserved respect of his community. A member of St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church he is survived by his sons Lucas and Bill who will carry on his legacy and his daughter-in-law Lucie. He also leaves to cherish his remembrance his brother Speros the families of his late brothers John and Gus his "sweetheart" of 22 years Sylvia Anderson and his adored Yorkie Prissy.
