<div itemprop="description">Efstathios &ldquo;Steve&rdquo; Sykiotis, 81 of Milton, Ontario passed away Saturday, February 27, 2016 at 9:26pm at Milton District Hospital surrounded by his family. <br />Efstathios Sykiotis was born May 24, 1934 in Tyros, Arcadia Greece to George and Metaxia Sykiotis. Efstathios was the third of seven children. Having grown up with very little, and extreme hardship, he had a vision of wanting more. He lived in Greece for 31 years after which time he emigrated to Canada along with his bride. They initially resided in Toronto, Ontario where they started their family. After five years they moved to Mississauga, with four children in tow and continued to grow their family to eight. They lived in Mississauga for twenty-one years, from which sixteen of those years were spent co-owning and operating a pizza parlor. In 1994, he decided to retire and pursue his lifelong dream of becoming a shepherd in Oakville. At this point in his life he was fulfilled. <br />Efstathios is survived by his beloved wife Matina of forty-eight years and his eight children, Metaxia, George, Janet and her husband Leo, Evangelia and her husband Wade, Alexandra and her husband Hernan, Eugenia, John, Irene and her husband Marco; ten grandchildren, Gwendolyn, Samantha, Sabrina, Sarah, Meghan, Vanessa, Eleftheria, John, Efstathios and Nikolaus. <br />A celebration of his life will be held at 6:00pm, Thursday March 4, 2016 at Glen Oaks Memorial, 3164 Ninth Line, Oakville, ON L6H 7A8.
