Mr. John Jacob Grossman

John’s career spanned over 45 years as an employee of SaskTel. His employment was interrupted for four years when he enlisted in the Canadian Army. He retired in 1979 as Manager for Revenue Accounting.
In 1995, John was inducted into the Saskatchewan Baseball Hall Of Fame. During his baseball career he played for teams in Saskatoon and Regina including the Red Sox. The Regina Daily Post nicknamed him “The Ace Moundsman.” John joined the Lion’s club in 1953 ultimately serving as President of the club. As a member of the club for over 50 years, Marie and John treasured the many friends they made through this association. In recognition of service to the Lion’s club he was awarded the Melvin Jones Fellow for dedicated humanitarian service. In conjunction with his association with the Lion’s Club John became involved with the CNIB serving as Chairman of the Board of the South Saskatchewan District. For over 50 years he volunteered his time assisting the blind. John believed in giving to his community and was generous with his time through volunteering with numerous charitable organizations.
John and Marie enjoyed the many friends they met through bridge, curling and golf. Family was very important to John and he was a wonderful father, grandfather and great grandfather. He was always willing to assist or offer advice and encouragement whenever it was needed.
A special thank you to the staff at Victoria Park Personal Care Community and Loretto House for the outstanding care they provided to John.

Mr. Constantin Gus Palyvos
September 7, 1927 - August 11, 2007
Constantin passed away peacefully with the love of his life at his bedside, Sonia, at Royal University Hospital on Saturday, August 11, 2007
He was born on September 7, 1927 in his beloved village of Karitaina, Greece by his parents, Ioannis and Stamatia (Tsarbopoulou) Palyvos. He was a very adventurous, happy person that loved singing, dancing and swimming. But, his lifetime passion was cooking. After learning and practicing his craft at many famous spots in Athens for four decades, he immigrated along with his family to Saskatoon in 1977. He worked at many notable restaurants of the time, (John’s Prime Rib, Cousin Nick’s, Olympia, Commodore, etc). He also opened and operated several restaurants in town. He was especially proud to be the first to open an authentic Greek bakery (Palyvo’s Palace) and the first totally authentic Greek cuisine restaurant (Spartako’s) in Saskatoon. He met Sonia in 1989 and in 1990 he started a number of moves that took him to Dawson Creek, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary. He worked at and operated many restaurants. In 2000 they returned to Saskatoon, where he owned and operated “Ella to Oreo Souvlaki”. He was fiercely proud of his craft and his only aims were being true to his cuisine and satisfaction of his customers. That earned him a lot of loyal, satisfied customers. So it was not surprising a lot of them were saddened when in 2003 he sold his restaurant and retired. He will be sadly missed by all his family and many friends and especially by Sonia, his wife of 17 years who, throughout their time together and especially during his battle with cancer, gave him her support, love, comfort and care that he needed.
He is also survived by his daughter, Stamatia (Ilia) Younikha; son, John (Wendy), both of Saskatoon, SK; mother of his children, Paraskevi; and grandchildren, Dustin, Nolan, Zaia, Vivian, all of Saskatoon; and brothers, Dimitris (Dorothea), Prokopis (Panagiota), Ilias, Panagiotis (Politimi); sister, Efthimia Pitira, all of Greece; his wife’s children and grandchildren, Ferdie (Janet); Ian, Janyne, and Janelle, who were very close to Gus.
He was predeceased by his parents; sister-in-law, Eleni; and brother-in-law, Vasilis Pitira, all of Greece.
Sonia wishes to send her heartfelt gratitude to all the staff and doctors on 6th Floor at Royal University Hospital, who helped comfort and care for Gus during his stay at the hospital, and for their wonderful support to her during this difficult time.
Visitation and Prayers will be held on Friday, August 17, 2007 from 6:00 p.m. to 12 O’clock mid-night, and the Funeral Service will be held on Saturday, August 18, 2007 at 11:00 a.m., officiated by Rev. Fr. John Nikolaou, at Park Funeral Chapel, 311 Third Avenue North, Saskatoon, SK. The interment service will take place at Hillcrest Memorial Gardens.
