Pantelis Sgouros, former President and founding member of the Chian Federation, died last Saturday at the age of 75.
“We are devastated because a perfect human-being left us. He was the bond among the Federation’s members,” stated the current President of the Chian Federation Vangelis Kavvadas.
“He was so uniting a personality. No one would ever dare to provoke tension when he was present,” he continued.
Sgouros was born in Kallimasia village, Chios, in 1937. He was a well-educated man, having graduated from New York City College as an engineer, and from both New York Polytechnic Institute and George Washington University as a master’s student.
Sgouros also worked for the famous McDonnell Douglas Corporation as director in one of the company’s branches.
As a Chian Greek-American, he was actively involved with several Greek associations of America, including the Chian Federation and the Kallimasia Society “Agios Emilianos.”
