Philadelphia, PA – The Greek-American community of Philadelphia is mourning the loss of Andrew Mitoulis, who passed away peacefully on June 25, 2025, at the age of 95. He passed away peacefully, with his family by his side, just as he had always been by theirs.

Andrew was born on February 28, 1930, in Dafni, a small mountain village in Macedonia, Greece. It was a place where life was often hard, but where the values of faith and family ran deep. He carried those values with him across the Atlantic in 1954, when he arrived in the United States alongside his brother Milton. Like many immigrants of his time, Andrew came with little more than determination and the hope of building something lasting. And he did.

He started with humble jobs, working hard with his hands and never complaining. In time, he and Milton founded Mitoulis Bros Contracting and Building, a company that shaped homes and neighborhoods across the region. But more than buildings, Andrew built a life rooted in decency, generosity, and a quiet kind of strength.

He later brought his parents and siblings from Greece, staying true to the promise so many immigrants make: no one gets left behind. He married Evanthia (Deenis), and together they built a home filled with warmth, faith, and kindness. Their marriage lasted 55 years, and together they raised two children, Caliann and Constantinos, who were deeply cherished.

Andrew wasn’t someone who sought attention. Those who knew him felt his presence in quiet ways. In a firm handshake. A thoughtful gesture. A steady place in the pews at St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral, where he worshipped faithfully and often.

He is survived by his daughter Caliann (Peter), his son Constantine, his sister Susan, and his brother Milton (Louise). His legacy lives on not only through his family, but through the community he helped nurture, the lives he touched, and the steady example he set for what it means to live with dignity.

Family and friends are invited to pay their respects on Wednesday, July 2, from 10:00 to 11:00 a.m. at St. George Greek Orthodox Cathedral, 256 South 8th Street in Philadelphia. The funeral service will begin at 11:00 a.m., with interment to follow at Fernwood Cemetery in Lansdowne. In lieu of flowers, the family kindly asks that donations be made to the St. George Cathedral Restoration Fund.

May his memory be eternal. Αιωνία του η μνήμη.
