Eleftherios (Lou) Parikakis 

1930 - 2024

Lou Parikakis of Allison Park, PA passed away on Friday, February 16, 2024.  He was 93 years old.

Lou and his sister, Helen (deceased) were born in Homestead, PA to Michael Parikakis and Virginia Mousadis Parikakis.

Lou was a veteran of the United States Coast Guard.  While stationed in the Great Lakes Region on USCG cutter Mackinaw he met his wife, Sophie (who preceded him in death).

His career led him to being a buyer for department stores and co-owning a convenience store.  

Lou enjoyed people, tending to flowers and his lawn, and cooking while welcoming family and friends for holidays and celebrations.  He loved laughter, a good prank, telling stories about his adventures, and providing advice.  More than anything, Lou was devoted to and loved his wife Sophie (Marge) and his family.  He and Sophie had three daughters, Katrina (Bill) Fiedler, Virginia (Mike) Zagnacky and Anastasia (Joe) Barron who will forever cherish his memory.

He treasured his grandchildren, Bill (Nikole) Fiedler, Nicole (Craig) Steiner and Danielle Zagnacky (deceased), and great-grandchildren, Christian, Aleks, Sofia, Katie, Luci and Thea.

Lou's kind heart will be missed by family, friends and all who knew him.  May his memory be eternal.
