Santa Barbara AHEPA Chapter 243

Brothers Mark and John Thanos of Chesterton, IN
Brother Mark Thanos was many things: an active Ahepan, a caring husband, a devoted father, a scholar, an athlete, a good neighbor ... and a hero. Sadly, Brother Mark and his father John Thanos (also an Ahepan) were taken from us last week, when they put their own lives at risk to save a neighbor's son, being swept away by flood waters. Many stories of triumph and tragedy pass through our Order, but few bring such mixed emotions of sorrow and pride. Brothers Mark and John Thanos represent the very best in our order and the very ideals of Greek heritage we pledge to keep strong. May their memory be eternal.



Please join us as we honor Brothers Mark and John Thanos as AHEPA's Greeks of the Week!
