George Nicozisis, 89, of Lancaster, passed away at his residence, Saturday, September 28, 2019 following complications of Alzheimer’s Disease. He was surrounded by his family. Born in the village of Sopiki, in North Epiros, Greece, he was the son of the late Dimitrios and Eugenia (Lavaris) Nicozisis.

Kontis, spouse of Darrell Smith, of Los Angeles, and Alexander G. Kontis, of Lancaster; a brother, Louis Nicozisis, spouse of Helen, of Lancaster; and a sister-in-law, Stella Nicozisis, of New York City. He is also survived by many beloved nieces, nephews, and other family members.
