We are deeply saddened to say goodbye to our dear friend, Argirios Kougioumtzoglou, who passed away at 2 am, while being in the ICU.

For the past few months, Argirios was being hospitalized in a rehabilitation center, after suffering severe hemiplegia, resulting from an acute myocardial infarction and an ischemic stroke. Even though he had recently shown some improvement, as the doctors were planning on removing his tracheostomy, he suffered a microbial infection that led to sepsis. Unfortunately, today he succumbed to his infection, while leaving behind his mourning family and community. The total amount that was raised through the campaign we had organized will be used to settle his medical bills at the rehabilitation center where he was being hospitalized. On behalf of his family, we would like to kindly thank all of you for being by Argirios’ side, the man who kept fighting for his life until the last minute. We would also like to express our most sincere condolences to his family. Rest in peace!
