Constantine “Dino” Zoumboulides, a longtime West Norriton resident who remained closely connected to both Greece and the life he built in Pennsylvania, passed away at home on April 15, 2026, surrounded by friends. He was 80.
Born in Athens on May 9, 1945, he was the son of Demetrios and Evelynbia (Demetris) Zoumboulides. He came to the United States in 1961 and built his life near relatives and extended family, while keeping strong ties to Greece throughout the years.
Dino attended school in the Upper Merion Area School District and graduated in 1967. He loved soccer, played on the varsity team, and during his high school years worked at Demetris Uptown Market in Bridgeport.
From 1968 to 1970, he returned to Greece to complete his military service in the Hellenic Army, serving in an administrative role at army headquarters in Athens.
After returning to the United States in 1970, he worked for many years at Genuardi’s and Giant Supermarkets. Later, he worked as a school van driver and aide. He became a U.S. citizen in 1995, an achievement he took great pride in.
He stayed active throughout his life. He enjoyed adult soccer, hunting, and especially bicycling. For 24 years, he rode with Team Tonya in the MS Ride for Life to Atlantic City, supporting causes that mattered to him. He also loved the Schuylkill Valley and the trail system he could see from the balcony of his condominium in West Norriton.
Just as important to him were the friendships he kept over the years. He regularly met with his Upper Merion High School classmates for breakfast or lunch, continuing bonds that had lasted for decades.
Those wishing to honor his memory may share stories with family and friends, make a contribution to St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church, 900 S. Trooper Road, Jeffersonville, PA 19403, or give to a charity of their choice.
