Tilemachos “Tim” Tziachris
Mr. Tilemachos “Tim” Tziachris of Whitecourt, AB, passed away March 12, 2019, after a long and courageous battle with cancer, at the age of 70 years.
Tim leaves to cherish his memory, son, Jim (Candice) Tziachris; daughter, Eleni (Aaron) Gausvik, and most of all, by his beloved grandson, Jaxen; brothers, Panagiotis (Paraskevi), Apostolos (Vassiliki), Stathis (Keti), Lambros (Maria) and Alekos (Dina); sister, Xanthi (Giorgos); many cousins, nephews, nieces and friends; and by the many dear people who worked alongside Tim as part of the “Green Gables family”.
Tim was predeceased by parents, Dimitrios and Eleni.
Tim was born May 16, 1948 in the village of Petrochori in Greece. He immigrated at the age of twenty-seven to Sarnia ON, moving in 1980 to Whitecourt where he made his family’s home. In 1989, Tim, along with his brother Alex, opened the business for which he is still best known, Green Gables Restaurant and Lounge.
Tim had an entrepreneurial spirit, working to ensure the success of not only Green Gables, but also Night Deposit Nightclub, Timio’s Liquor Store and the Blue Ridge Hotel. Tim loved showing his support for the people of Whitecourt by sponsoring several charitable and sports organizations.
Thank you to the doctors and staff of the Whitecourt Health Care Centre and the Cross Cancer Institute for the compassionate care shown to Tim and the family.
