Christ Boukis' Obituary

Cherished grandfather of Nicholas, Alexander, Anthony, Maria, and Michael. Son of the late John and Georgia Boukis. Dear brother of Steve (Vaso), Gary (Mary), and Ken (Packy).

Godfather of Christopher and Fotia. Uncle and friend to many.
Christ dedicated his life to serving others – his family, his church community, and his clients. He was a brilliant probate attorney who counseled many during the most difficult times in their lives. He spent the first 70 years of his life at the Annunciation Greek Orthodox Church in Cleveland, Ohio where he served on parish council, as legal advisor, at the candle stand, on various committees, and as festival cook and chairman. He was a founding member of the Hellenic Preservation Society and was involved in AHEPA. Christ was an amazing storyteller who loved to share world history, life lessons, and family memories, with a great sense of humor. He cherished spending time with his family and will be remembered for his culinary expertise, especially his prized lamb at Easter. He was a Christ-centered, honest, generous, hard-working man who will be greatly missed. May his memory be eternal!
