SOKRATIS JOHN LOUVROS
1933 — 2023
February 22, 1933 – June 12, 2023
Born in Corfu, Greece, Sokratis sailed to Canada in 1960. He made his way to Jasper with his partner, Evangelia, whom he then married in 1961. While building their new life together and working for CN Railway, they welcomed their first child, Gina, in 1962, followed by son John in 1963. They picked up and moved to Kamloops to set down their roots and he then started working for BC Highways. In 1965, they welcomed their second daughter and third child, Linda. Sokratis proceeded to change career paths and became a custodian with the School District, ending that career at Arthur Stevenson before retiring. In 1981, Sokratis and Eva opened Roma’s restaurant, which they later sold in 1988 and settled into full retirement.
His legacy lives on through his daughter Gina, son John, grandchildren Ashley, Jasmine, and Andreas (Heather), and great grandchildren Christian, Bentley and Ivy.
As an avid fisherman, Sokratis frequented local lakes. On one occasion, he even managed to roll the vehicle into a lake while out with the family. Thankfully, it was shallow water so everyone was okay but it definitely showed he was a better fisherman than he was a driver! He also loved to go hunting all over BC and Alberta as well, adopting him the nickname “Great White Hunter” amongst family and friends.
Among the greatest loves of his life were his family and friends, which always came first and foremost. Spending time with each and every person as much as he could throughout the beautiful life he created.
He is already so deeply missed and his love and light will live on
in the memories he created with each and every one of us.
Viewing will take place in the Church prior to the service, beginning at 10:30am. The Funeral Service will take place at 11:00am on Monday, June 19, 2023 in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of All Saints, 1044 8th St., Kamloops BC. Reverend Father Chad Pawlyshyn, officiating. Following the Service, Sokratis will be laid to rest in Hillside Cemetery with his beloved Evangelia.
