HARRY KARATHANASIS
HARRY KARATHANASIS, born October 22, 1933 to Thelma and Steve Kardanis (deceased) and sister Mary (deceased), died at home early in the morning on November 22, 2008 at his residence.
He spent many happy years in several boroughs of New York, especially the third grade when he and several friends experienced all the "Big Apple" had to offer except school. Later this behavior led to his relocation to his grandparents Kovas' home and his extended Greek family in Martins Ferry. Here, Harry "Alphabet" forged many strong friendships and was so proud to be a Purple Rider.
Many memories were recounted with his endless Army stories and OU-Athens antics. However, the theme of hard work and stong friendships always permeated the words.
His teaching career started at Jewett, Oh, where truly great mentors led him to pass on many valuable lessons to his students and there and at Shadyside High School, where he retired.
His family he leaves behind are two daughters; Stefania Albert, Martins Ferry, Oh. and Stacia Karathanasis of Columbus, Oh, a grandson; Elliott Albert, Martins Ferry, his former wife; Marcia, and a brother-in-law Carmelo.
Funeral services were held at the funeral home, Wednesday, November 26, 2008 at 1 p.m. with Rev. Spiro Kehayes officiating.
Interment followed in Riverview Cemetery, Martins Ferry, Oh.
