Condolences & Memories (56 entries)

• Was thinking of Anthony today when I saw a table hockey game... Anthony was in a league with myself, Angelo Torchia and Bob Hiebert. the rivalries we had will never be forgotten. I remember him standing in the backlane waiting for me to show up to play him. Hope he found a good player where he is now. Much much too young. - Posted by: Martin Shaff (High School Friend) on: Feb 17, 2016

• To my dear little brother, Andoni, we all know that you were taken too fast from all of us. Now you are an angel in heaven, as you were here with us. I will miss you so much, and you will never be forgotten by me. I love you!! -Dim - Posted by: Dimitra Caravelis (Sister) on: Dec 01, 2014

• No words can describe a father’s pain. The pain is always hidden and may not always be expressed as he does not want others to worry or become upset. He hurts because the dream of his life has left forever before completing all of his duties/tasks in life. Yes, Andoni was the four "seasons" in life to us, bringing in happiness and love day in and day out with his smile and kindness. Andoni left us like an angel. We will always love him forever!!! - Posted by: Bill Caravelis (Father) on: Dec 01, 2014

• ••• 2 weeks ago an amazing person ascended into heaven. He was kind hearted, intelligent, hardworking, devoted and most importantly a very loving husband son, brother, father and so much more. To me he was my father. Someone who I loved to past the moon and back. I just didn't think it was fair that his time was up so soon. And I just wish things could go back to the way they were. When me and my family was actaully happy. When I was younger My dad would always help me with my homework when I didn't understand. And in grade 7 he basically taught me all of my math. Also, my nickname from him was tinni winni balabini. Which btw I loved. I also likes how he would play with me and my brother when we were younger. Like house and monsters. Where we would hide under the covers in the dark. And out our late night dance sessions 💃with the whole family was ver fun as well. My other fondest memory with him was our Burger King traditon. Almost every Saturday we would go there and enjoy our special chats! That was when life used to be fun. Now, my dad was not only loved by his family, but also his close friends, clients, co-workers and all the members of the greek community. Hearing the words that people had spoke at his funeral, I and many others realize how fortunate they are to have such a great man in their lives. One man even said, this is the largest funeral he had ever seen. I would say in my head: see daddy, look how many people loved you. Words can not express how much I love you daddy. And it's not even funny how much I miss you!! Rest in peace my love, you will forever hold a special place in my heart and never be forgotten. ••• - Posted by: Valentina Caravelis (Daughter) on: Nov 27, 2014

• We are very saddened to lose Antoni so early in life. He was truly one of a kind. Some of my fondest memories growing up were staying over at my cousin’s house, at times it seemed I was there more than my own house. Antoni was always a kind and thoughtful person. Although you will be greatly missed you will never be forgotten. A little bit of you will always be in our hearts. “No day shall erase you from the memory of time” - Posted by: Kathrine and Chris Olmstead (Cousin) on: Nov 13, 2014

• To Bill, Valia, Angie & children and, extended family. I am so deeply saddened by your loss and cannot extend my arms wide enough to hold you all. I remember Tony as a young child when I would go to Bill's Texaco garage with my dad to get his car fixed and as the years went by I always noticed what a kind soul he was. I especially remember a time well when i was having personal difficulties and when i would go to church with my daughter Isabella to see families together it was difficult, but seeing families like Tony and Angie and their children always resonated with me a reassurance that there is love. I can't imagine your pain but please feel some comfort in knowing he is in god's hands. Valentina and little Vasili may the spirit of your father always stay with you and guide you. God Bless your family, I am so very saddened by your loss. - Posted by: Mimi & Isabella () on: Nov 13, 2014

• Dear Vassilki and Valentina When I became principal of the Greek school in 2006 and started the Yiayia Gogo classes, you were one my first students Vassilaki. You were 3 years old, always near your father who brought you every Saturday to my classes with love and Greek pride. Your Greek improved a lot and you continue Greek school always with your father at your side. When I replaced the grade 6 teacher, Valentina, I admired your excellent working habits and loved you as a student. For seven years, your father was my best collaborator every Saturday, always there, to help with any kind of needs the school had: cleaning the entrance fron the snow, help setting tables for the celebrations, listen and be the mediator between the school and the church board. I respected and loved working with your father and I am deeply sad of his passing. Let his example and kindess serve you as guide in your life. He will be always with you because you are part of him.

• On behalf of the AHEPA Family, I wish to express our sadness and deepest sympathy to the family of Brother Anthony (Tony) Caravelis on his recent passing after a courageous battle. Tony has been a devoted member of the Order of AHEPA for over 25 years; serving in various leading capacities on behalf of the AHEPA Family. His altruistic dedication to volunteerism, camaraderie, and pursuit of excellence contributed immensely to the many cultural and philanthropic successes of our organization from the OXI Day celebrations, to the Greek Islands Pavilion, and many other events. He was the backbone of our chapter’s financial affairs; serving as treasurer for over 14 years in the 1990s to 2000s. Tony continued to volunteer as our chapter financial steward imparting advice for the benefit of the chapter and community. As a result, Tony contributed to a strong foundation of the Order – fulfilling the ideals of Hellenism and philanthropy from the Pursuit of Truth, Freedom and Excellence to Respect for the Individual, and the Love of Life. A legacy his family can take pride in. May God bless his soul and may his memory endure. - Posted by: William Constan (Secretary - Order of AHEPA Chapter CJ8) on: Nov 10, 2014

May his memory be eternal - Posted by: William Constan (and Family) (Friend) on: Nov 10, 2014

• Tony had looked after our investments for more years than any other at M.D. management (30+ yrs). We told him to pretend he was looking to advise a close family member when dealing with our affairs, which helped with our eventual retirement to BC. His professionalism and diligent attention to detail will be sorely missed by all who knew him. Our prayers and thoughts are with Angie and the family at these difficult times.

• Dear Angie and family My very deepest sympathy for you at this tragic and sad time. My husband Dr Jack Armstrong was a long term client of Tony's at MD and had the deepest respect and affection for him. They had many off the cuff discussions on finances, investments and life over the years along with Tony's financial planning. Since Jack passed away 8 years ago I felt very secure, safe and confident with having Tony looking after my affairs and investments. I have felt so blessed to have him there for me. I missed him so much since he left on sick leave and was so devastated to learn of his prognosis from MD in Sept. I have kept him in my prayers every day. He was too young and leaves behind his young family --- which is so devastating and heart breaking I am truly heartsick for you all and my prayers will continue for you. Love and prayers Glenda Armstrong - Posted by: Glenda Armstrong (MD client ) on: Nov 10, 2014

• We always enjoyed our "visits" with Tony at MD Management--he always had a smile, liked to chat about family and Greece, and always steered us in the right path financially. We already missed him and are feeling the loss, so can only imagine what you, as his family, have been going through--and continue to suffer. Warmest wishes to you and yours.

• To my dear cousin Andonis God took you away from us far too soon and our hearts are broken. As family we find it hard to understand why you were taken from us, but we do know that your life on earth made a huge impact on those who love you and those whose lives you touched. You were an angel on earth and now you are an angel in heaven. Archangels Michael and Gabriel saw that you grew weary and came to guide you home. We love you with all our hearts and we miss you. - Posted by: Maria Cendou (Cousin) on: Nov 10, 2014
