Mr. Hasapis attended the University of Athens but had to quit one year short of graduation when Greece entered another war. Mr. Hasapis joined the Greek Merchant Marines and served as ships engineer but dreamed of going to America some day.
He jumped ship and came to America as an illegal alien somewhere around 1950. He worked for awhile and then left the country for two years and again jumped ship and came back into the United States.
The second time he entered the United States, friends in New York sent him to Minneapolis to a Greek family there for help and they sent him on to Miles City to the Lucas family. The Lucas family helped him get a job with Love Motors and to find a teacher who would teach him to speak English.
In 1954 he married Jennie Warford who had two young daughters and instantly became a family man. A year later his daughter, Maria, was born and just over a year later his son, Frank, was born.
On Nov. 10, 1964, Mr. Hasapis took and passed his test for naturalization and became a legal United States citizen.
Mr. Hasapis worked for Love Motor for 15 years and started building houses on weekends and evenings. For awhile he was involved with Master Craft Homes with Mullen Realty as his partner. He later formed a partnership with Ray Hunt that lasted for 28 years. Mr. Hasapis, Ray Hunt and Jack Hardesty started Crafted Homes around 1957. They later sold their interest to Hardesty. Mr. Hasapis also helped Hardesty fund the starting of the Hardesty Addition. Mr. Hasapis and long time partner Hunt also started the first pre-fabricated housing factory in Miles City (H&H Construction), which they owed and operated until they both retired.
