Constantine "Costa" Georgoudis, 90, of Moncton, passed away on Sunday, May 15, 2022, at home. Born in Greece, he was the son of the late George and Penelope Georgoudis.

In 1958, Costa left his family in Greece and landed at Pier 21 in Halifax and like so many other immigrants took a train to Montreal where he started his journey for a better life. Within one year, Costa was reunited with his wife and his son in Montreal. His work ethic was quickly rewarded when he became the supervisor for various cleaning companies. Although grateful for this promotion, his desire to provide an even better life for his family came to fruition during a hunting trip in New Brunswick. While visiting Moncton, he saw a business opportunity and grabbed it. With hard work, determination, and dedication, he established the well- known and respected Vito’s restaurant; a family restaurant business in Moncton for over 53 years. He valued all his customers and did everything he could to give back to the community that gave him so much. Being a generous man, he supported countless local charities, the Moncton and Georges-Dumont hospitals, and sports organizations. Costa was an avid hunter and fisherman, loved taking care of his beehives, enjoyed spending countless hours at his camp, and always looked forward to his outdoor adventures with his cherished friends.  Costa was fiercely loyal, kind, humble, and a shining example of a great family man.

He is survived by his wife of 69 years, Katerina (Katina) (Panopalis); two sons: Jimmy and Peter (Antigone), both of Moncton; one daughter-in-law, Shelley Georgoudis of Salisbury; six grandchildren: Catherine, Melissa, Stephania, Katherina, Costa, and Katerina; his siblings: Peter (late Maria) and Nick (Dina), both of Saint John, and Anthoula (Sam) of Greece; as well as his nieces and nephews.

He was predeceased by his son, George; and his brother, Dimitri.

The family will receive condolences at Frenette Funeral and Cremation Centre, 88 Church Street, Moncton (858-1900) on Wednesday, May 18 from 1 to 4 pm only. The funeral service will take place at Saint - Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church, 33 Dorchester Street, Saint John on Thursday, May 19 at 11 am. Face coverings are recommended at the funeral centre and the church. Interment will be in Saint John. In memory of Costa, a contribution to Food Depot Alimentaire or Ducks Unlimited would be appreciated.
