Jimmie Kaniadakis Obituary
Jimmie G. Kaniadakis, 87, entered into eternal life June 28th after a brief illness. He was born in Akron and was a life-long resident of the area.
Jimmie was preceded in death by his wife Wilma, parents George and Eugenia, brother Antony, sister Katherine and her husband Gust Alexakis.
He is survived by long-time loving companion Dolores Horschak; step-son Waymon Carter and wife Joyce, their children Andrea (Eric) Williams, Bronwyn (Nick) Mogen, Daniel Carter and Morgan Carter, grandchildren Brenna, Melanie, Miranda, Andrea and Rylie; great-grandchild Christian; sister-in-law Jane Kaneas; nephew and nieces Tony and Mary Kaneas, Marianne and Don Blankenship, Melanie Kaneas, Ginger Alexakis; their children Mark (Lindsay), Karen (Drew), Malina (Jason) Justin and Jordan; grand-nieces and nephews Dillon, Tyler, Kate, Brice, Sydney; very special cousin Ruth Dakes who was always at his beck and call, and a host of other relatives and friends.
Jimmie was a veteran of the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers, having served in Hawaii after World War II. He was especially proud of his Greek heritage. When he met new people he would always challenge them to pronounce and spell his name. His favorite explanation was "just say "can you take us."
He and Dolores shared many good times together, going to concerts, plays, bus trips and mornings at the Mall with friends and fellow retirees discussing events of the day.
The family will receive friends at Billows Falls Chapel, 1907 23rd Street in Cuyahoga Falls, on Tuesday June 30th from 5PM to 8PM with Trisagios service at 7 PM. Funeral services will take place on Wednesday July 1st at 11 AM at Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 129 South Union Street, Akron, Fr. Jerry Hall and Fr. Andrew Lentz officiating. Internment at Mt. Peace Cemetery.
In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Jimmie's memory to Hospice Visiting Nurse Service, c/o Akron General Foundation, 1 Akron General Avenue, Akron, Ohio 44307 (online at vnsa.com) or Good Samaritans of Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church, 129 South Union Street, Akron, Ohio 44306
