Mrs. Prokopis & Demo,
I am sorry to hear of the passing of your husband and father. I moved to Lancaster only 1 week before you folks did back in 1967. I had visited your home many times back then while playing with Demo and I always remember how hospitable you all were anytime I would come, always offering food and drink. Mr. Prokopis would always talk to me ( with Demo interpreting ) and he would always have a smile on his face and always seemed very happy! I’ve passed your house at 212 E New St many times over the years and would often see Mr. Prokopis sitting out on the porch relaxing. What a blessing to be given 90 years of life, rejoice in the memories.
Blessings to you all!
