Panayiotis A. Tsirigotis, a beloved husband, father, papou, and friend, passed away on June 3, 2024, at the age of 68, at Lehigh Valley Hospital, Cedar Crest.

Born in Elika, Greece, he was a son of the late Antonios and Elisabet Tsirigotis. Panayiotis was a longtime restaurateur who touched the lives of many in his community through his generosity, mentorship, and friendship. He found joy in working on his farm and cherished his roots, often returning to his village in Greece. His true happiness was found in the laughter, hugs, and memories he made with his granddaughters.

As the devoted patriarch of the family, Panayiotis loved spending time with his family and instilling in them the values of hard work, kindness, and tradition. His legacy will live on through the countless lives he touched and the memories his loved ones will treasure.
