George Anastasiadis
August 25, 1963 - February 6, 2022
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of George Anastasiadis in his 59th year on February 6, 2022. Loving son of Kirk and Bessie Anastasiadis, son-in-law of Georgia Matous, cherished father to Kirk and Victor (Maddy) Anastasiadis, proud Papou to his newborn granddaughter Soultana. Partner in life and best friend of Sally Anastasiadis (Jim). He will be greatly missed by his sister Dianne (Larry), his brother Stacy (Louise), his brother-in-law Mike Matous (Kelli). Predeceased by his father-in-law, Victor Matous and brother-in-law Nick Matous (Carol). Loved by all his nieces, nephews, and his godchildren.
George was a friend to so many. He touched many hearts and was loved by all; he will be missed dearly. He is gone from us, but he will always remain with us. Our lives will not be the same as our hearts are broken. We will cherish all the beautiful memories, the laughter, the love, the good old days. You didn’t have to know George long to experience his kindness, his fun-loving character who touched so many lives. He was a model for optimism, generosity and strength.
There was never a dull moment with George. He welcomed new experiences with open arms and an open heart. From real estate to restaurants, he had his hand in many successful business ventures. He loved life and he lived to enjoy it! He was passionate about his family, his friends, cooking, entertaining, travelling…the finer things in life and with open hands he generously shared his passions with all of us.
George had a positive way of looking at this life. In this moment he would say, ‘This is life, make sure to enjoy it!’
So many hats for us to wear, such big shoes to fill. Watch over as we move forward. God keep you, until we meet again. May your memory be eternal.

I am so sorry to read of George's passing. I met him when he would bring his shirts in to Peter's Cleaners. He had such a sweet smile and was always pleasant. We had a few conversations about the Culinary Catering location on Springbank. As a child it was a service station operated by my neighbours, the Wilsons. My deepest condolences to all of his family and friends. I can see that he will be sorely missed. With sympathy and caring, Susan Kaye
Sending our sincere condolences to the family on the sudden loss of George May his memory be eternal
It was such a pleasure to have taught George and also his brother Stacey at Northbrae PS. They were excellent, bright students. I remember my daughter had a pet guinea pig that she no longer wanted to look after and I instructed anyone in my class wishing to have that animal, they would bring a note from their parents and George was the winner. Such a fun time working with George. My sympathies to the family.
We would like to send our condolences to his family. Even though we didn't know him on a personal level, we are still sorry for your loss.
Sally, Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time. May the memories you shared bring you comfort and peace in the days and weeks ahead. Prayers for strength for all of you and know you are in my thoughts and prayers. My deepest sympathies
