John worked hard from a young age on his family's farm and in his studies where he completed high school (a rarity at that Greece). That was followed by his entry into the Greek Army as a member of the air force which he was always proud of. John moved to Canada in the 1950's where his brother George was already established. He made his way to Kitimat B.C. where he worked at Alcan Aluminum and made lifelong friendships.

He then moved to Saskatchewan and ventured to North Battleford to join friends as a co-owner of the Dominion His life changed when he was introduced to a beautiful young woman, Sotiria Pontikis. From there the courtship began and John and Sotiria were married April, 28th, 1963. Their first child Leo was born in North Battleford. From there the couple decided to move to Regina where they were blessed with the births of Vicki and Nick. John remained in the restaurant business with various partners in (Dionysos and The Golden Steer) after a fruitful stint as owner of Sky Billiards.

He retired in the late 1980's. Throughout the years John was a proud member and volunteer of the Greek Community of Regina. John was a very social person and nurtured many close friendships. John was not one to sweat the small stuff in life. He rarely complained about much of anything.

Through it all he was very proud of his family. He had a loving relationship with Sotiria. They would have celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary in 2013. He was proud of his children, all very accomplished in their field of work. He was also very close to his two grandchildren who have both taken his name.
