Obituary of Louis Balkou

What can you say about Louis Balkou? He was one of a kind, a kind soul, and the best friend ever. He was a devoted Mason & Past Master of St. Clair Lodge, a Rotarian, and worked in real estate for over 25 years. He was a man of many talents except golf and he left us too soon. His passing is mourned by his wife of 35 years and love of his life for 40 Anne, mother Chrisoula, brother Bill, nieces Kristin and Gillian, mother-in-law Marjorie Smith, sister-in-law and husband Judie & Ron Wilmot, nephews Jason and Jared Zabell and their families. He was predeceased by his father Steve. He will be remembered by his close relatives; The Arvanitis, Petropoulos and Balkou families. He is already missed by his best friends Danny & Cathy, their boys Daniel & Chris, Peter, Linda & Katie, Saif, and Brenda & Guido: many who were there to help him on his journey at the end. A Celebration of Louis' Life will be held on Thursday, October 28, 2010 at Arta Gallery, 55 Mill St., The Distillery District, Building 9, Suite 102, from 6:00 - 8:30 p.m. If desired, you may wish to donate to the Canadian Cancer Society, The Yonge Street Mission, or a charity of your choice.
