Every year we celebrated Greek Easter with him at the helm of roasting the lamb. All of our family came together on that day to celebrate him and his tradition. The tradition became so special to all of us as it brought us all together to enjoy him and each other. Remember him, honor him, raise your glass to Heaven and toast "Yassou", "Salud" or "Opa" to the memory of Pericles , Papu, Thio, Dad or friend!
