Nicholas Morakeas
August 12, 1939 — June 3, 2020
Nicholas Morakeas, age 80 of Canton, passed away on June 3, 2020.
He was born on August 12, 1939 in Athens, Greece to his parents, Harry and Kleo (née Mavromati) Morakeas. After his arrival to the United States, Nicholas entered into the Military and proudly served in the United States Army from 1960 until 1964. In his free time, he was adamant about perfecting his golf swing; to the point that he would hit plastic golf balls in the house. During family vacations, he could be found on the golf course.
Nicholas is the beloved and devoted husband of 42 years to his wife, Patricia (née Olesky) Morakeas; loving father of three children – Chris (Kristie) Szostek, Bob (Jennifer) Marcus and Takis (Nikoleta) Morakeas; proud grandfather of seven grandchildren – Abby Szostek, Sophia Szostek, Kwame Atta-Nyamekye, Josephine Marcus, Constantine Marcus, Gregory Morakeas and Vasiliki Morakeas.
