It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Mr. Panagiotis Glekas at the age of 90 after a very brief illness on August 13, 2024. He was the husband of Mary Glekas (nee Papadogiannis).

In addition to his wife, he is survived by his beloved children, Dimitra Athena (Mina) and Panagiotis, John and Jessica, and his most adored grandsons, Constantinos and Caelan. He is also survived by his brother Konstantinos (Greece) and many nephews, nieces, cousins and extended family in Canada, America and Greece.

Peter was born in the village of Georgitsi, Laconia, Greece which is located on the slopes of the Taygetos mountains and was predeceased by his parents, Ioannis and Dimitra as well as his brothers, George and Ilias.

Peter emigrated to Canada in 1959 to marry Mary, his betrothed and raised his family with her in the Montreal area. He had many jobs from operating a cleaning company to in his later years, owning a janitorial supply company.

He loved gardening and spent summers preparing, planting and tending to many a garden including in St Hippolyte where the family owned a cottage.
