Anastasios Economopoulos, 68, of Athens, Greece and Brooklyn, NY, passed away on August 2, 2020 in Staten Island, NY. of pancreatic cancer, just one day before his 46th wedding anniversary to his beautiful wife.

Anastasios Economopoulos was born in Athens, Greece in a taxi cab underneath the Acropolis to Kriton Economopoulos and Elisavet Megaloikonomou on November 26, 1951. He went to high school in Athens, Greece and completed technical school as a mechanical engineer. He worked as a mechanical engineer making glass storefronts and mirrors for Colonial Glass for many years. If you ever pass by Cartier on 5th avenue in Manhattan, take a look at his handy work. More recently, he helped run Mr. Glass Tempering.

He enjoyed soccer games and watching his grandkids grow up. He was a member of The Greek School of Plato board in various roles, from secretary to President of the Board. His firm belief in education and personal growth was what drove him to keep The Greek School of Plato thriving even after his children graduated. He even lived to see his own grandchildren attend the school with so much pride.

Anastasios is survived by his wife, Joann (Yianna), daughters, Elizabeth and Angela, son-in-laws George and Francesco and his grandchildren Nicholas, Alexander, Anastasio, and Zoe.

The funeral service will be held at Kimisis Theotokou Church, 224 18th Street, Brooklyn, NY 11215 on August 7, 2020 at 9:30am with Father Ganas officiating. Burial will follow at Moravian Cemetery, 2205 Richmond Road, Staten Island, NY. Visitation will be held at Matthew Funeral Home on August 6, 2020 between 5-9pm. Matthew Funeral Home will be handling the funeral arrangements.

Memorial donations may be made to The Greek School of Plato, 672 92nd Street, Brooklyn, NY 11228 or through thegreekschoolofplato.org/don…

The family wishes to extend their gratitude to all family and friends who have supported Anastasio’s fight against pancreatic cancer. May his memory be eternal, like the light and laughter he shared here on earth. We love you, daddy.
