Dimitri and his wife, Effie, immigrated to the United States with their son, Thanasi, and settled in Upper Darby. He held several jobs in the restaurant industry before moving into construction. He most recently lived in Springfield.

He worked hard to support his family, which remained his greatest source of pride. Those closest to him will remember the dedication, perseverance, and love he showed throughout his life.

Dimitri is survived by his wife, Effie; his son, Thanasi, and daughter-in-law, Lauren; his granddaughter, Ifigenia; his brother, Kosta, and sister-in-law, Katerina Tzumakaris; and his nephews, Peter and Thanasi Tzumakaris.

In lieu of flowers, the family requested memorial donations to St. George Greek Orthodox Church.

May his memory be eternal.
