Obituary of Christopher Vassos

VASSOS, Christopher "C.W." It is with heavy and broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Christopher, a loving Father and Dedo on April 29, 2016, at the age of 79 years. Loving Father and Hero to his children, Bill Vassos of Windsor, and Karen Boughner and husband Joe of LaSalle. Cherished and adored Dedo to Chelsea, Courtney, Mara, and Christopher. Dear friend and former spouse to Delores (nee Mallat). Predeceased by parents Bill and Mara Vassos, and brother Bob Vassov. Dear Uncle to Nick, Mary, and Robert Vassov. Christopher retired from Carling O'Keefe Breweries after many years of dedicated service. He was the proud co-owner with his son Bill of Billy's Pub & Grill in Windsor. Christopher was one of the founding members and a life-time member of St. Nicholas Macedonian Orthodox Church, serving in many capacities on Committees and Boards. He was also the founder and a very generous donor to the Macedonian Soccer Club, which he was instrumental in its development and growth. Christopher was very proud of his Macedonian heritage, but his greatest pride in life was his beloved family.
