CHOLAKIS,
Harry
A.
(December 16, 1926-July 16, 2007)
It is with great sadness that the family of Harry
CHOLAKIS announces
his passing at age 80 in Toronto. Survived by his loving wife
of 54 years, Marina, his beloved children Ernest (Rebecca
LAST,)
Nancy (Richard
RACZKOWSKI,)
Cynthia
(Robert
GEMMELL) and George
(Hanya KATZ.) Cherished grandfather to Jennifer, Greg, Laura,
Megan, Michelle and Michael. Survived by brothers, John, Paul
and Leo CHOLAKIS, predeceased by brother Chris and parents, Ernest
and Helen CHOLAKIS, all of Winnipeg. Harry was born in Winnipeg
to a Greek immigrant father and
an American mother. His passion
for sports resulted in recruitment to the Winnipeg Blue Bombers
Football team before polio ended his dream. He then focused his
energy coaching the Winnipeg Rods, a Manitoba junior football
team. He joined the family business, Broadway Florists and Greenhouses
and then at 41 years of age moved to Toronto with his young family
after purchasing Helen Simpsons Flowers. He soon acquired Stan
Muston Florist, Graingers and Staines Florists, opened shops at
the Royal York Hotel and
on Bay Street and was managing the flower
shop at the downtown Simpsons department store. Harry was active
with FTD and was the first elected Canadian director. He
was proud to be a founder of the Ontario Florist Conference and
was honored when, in recognition of his many years of involvement
in the floral industry, the conference created a 'Harry Cholakis
Award'. His family will forever miss his wisdom, strength, humor,
integrity and devotion. Harry felt fortunate to have had grandchildren
to share his life with the past 18 years. It was a joy for him
to celebrate their milestones and to frequently travel with them,
often to watch them compete in junior squash tournaments throughout
North America and Europe. They will miss his sense of fun, wit
and love. A private family funeral service was held followed
by interment at Mount Pleasant Cemetery. Condolences can be sent
to marinacholakis@sympatico.ca
