Portrait of George Damianidis

A life remembered

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our father George Damianidis on February 11, 2025. He was 88 years old. George was born on November 5, 1936 in Kraniona, Kastoria, Greece to Pando and Kiratsa Damianidis.

George immigrated to Canada in 1953 at the age of 17 where he worked in the restaurant industry. In 1957 he opened The Valley Inn Restaurant with his brother Bill which they proudly owned for 33 years.

George was a loving father to Kathryn (Evan) and Peter, proud Dedo to Arianna, Julia and Georgia and forever devoted husband to the late Carole.

Survived by his brother Bill and late wife Sophie, Louis and wife June.

“George will always be loved by many and eternalized in our hearts.”
