PALLAM, JOHN J. 73. Former vice president and general counsel for Brush-Wellman Corp., former chief legal counsel for Midland Ross Corp. The canvas upon which John painted his life has no blank spaces. He used every color in the rainbow; his colors were wit, charm, and intellect. The palette was heavy with good character, devotional love for his family and many dear friends, and diligence to his professional career as a lawyer. He was an entertainer, an encourager, and an inspirer. Grateful for the education he received, he never ceased learning. John was an enthusiastic collector of many unique things, including books, clocks, miniature soldiers, pipes, and vintage wines. Served proudly in the U.S. Army JAG Corp as a trial lawyer in Vietnam. His greatest prize is his darling queen, wife Vanthe "Evanthia" (nee Venizelos). The greatest gifts he received are his most loving daughter Alethea Kypriotakis (George) and grandsons Haralambos and Ioannis. He was devoted to his late parents James and Coralia (nee Gatsos), his sisters Elaine Simon (James) and Anastasia Tsevdos (Theodore, deceased).
