    Nick Bertsos

    June 6, 1937 - November 23, 2021

    Nick Bertsos was born in Manthirea, Greece on June 6, 1937. In pursuit of a better life, he left Greece at the age of 14 with his family and embarked on a transatlantic journey to Chicago. He married the love of his life Mary, who he met working in a Greek bakery with her father. Together, they had three children; Penelope, Anthony and Christina. A hard-working entrepreneur, Nick became a successful restauranteur and provided an amazing life for his family. After Mary’s death in 2011, Nick met Joann through a family introduction. Both having lost their life partners, were drawn to each other for a second chance at love. Together, they cared for each other until Nick’s passing. Nick’s dedication to his family and pride in his Greek Heritage was what he passed on to all who met him, and above all to his children and grandchildren. Nick was unforgettable to all who knew and loved him. Nick passed away peacefully on November 23, 2021. He is survived by his partner Joann Houlis, his children, Penelope (Cesar), Lara, Anthony (Jaqueline), Bertsos, Christina Bertsos, Mark Higgs (Lori) and his three grandchildren, Julian, Marcus and Zoe Lara. Services are being held at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church; visitation will begin at 10 am, with the funeral service starting at 11 am. Immediately following the committal service, at Curlew Hills Memory Gardens, the Makaria will be held at Safety Harbor Resort and Spa.
