Obituary of Ahilleas "Alex" Nikolakakos

On August 1, 2021, after a long and courageous battle with cancer, Ahilleas (Alex) Nikolakakos passed away peacefully, at the age of 79, surrounded by his loving family at University Hospital. Born in 1942, in Xirokambi, Greece, son of his late parents Dimitrios and Maria Nikolakakos, he emigrated to Canada in 1954. From the age of 20, Alex owned several successful local restaurants including the Knotty Pine, at Richmond and Fanshawe, with his brother John and sister in law Helen. Beloved husband of the late Kathleen (nee Burnett). Cherished father of Maria, and her husband Jacob, and Dimitrios (Jim) and his children Julia and Ahilleas (Alex) who adored their Papou. Alex is survived by his devoted second wife Daniela Galis and her daughter Andra. Dear brother of Heidi (Bill), Georgina (the late Sam), and departed brothers George (the late Toula) and John (the late Helen). Alex was generous, kind, loving, and always stood up for the underdog. He will be deeply missed, but never forgotten, by his family, many nieces, nephews and friends. We would like to thank the countless nurses, doctors, and other medical professionals who provided care and support over the last twelve years.
