t has been said of people from time to time: “He
was a gentleman and a scholar.” In George Chryssis’ case, this was not a cliché. He was truly a gentle
man and a scholar.
He touched everyone he met with his kind words,
offering his advice whenever someone requested
it, and encouraged all those he met to follow their
dreams and strive to make a difference.
George was born in Chania, Crete, in 1947, and his
love for our beloved island was one that was passed
on not only to his family, but to everyone that was
close to him.
His relationship with the Pancretan Association
of America began with his local chapter in Boston in
the 1980s, where he served in many capacities, including president. He followed that tenur e with his
election as district governor. He continued serving
the PAA as a trustee for the Pancretan Endowment
Fund, chaired our national convention in Boston and
ultimately was elected president of the PAA in 1995.
