Angelo was a shrewd Entrepreneur and an astute marketer, and we will always remember his unique advertising ideas. His famous Angelo’s blimp in the 80’s, which came crashing down during a storm, and the Rotating Light in the sky which triggered a UFO investigation from the U.S. Military at Fort Drum. He sponsored sports teams, had his own mugs and hats.
He started to miss farming, so he pursued growing crops of potatoes to make French fries. He loved his heavy equipment, and his happy place was spending hours cultivating crops, which he did until age 80.
From planting and harvesting olives in Greece to winning an wine making award, to cultivating potatoes and crops in Canada, working the soil was in his bones.

Granddaughter, Angeline wrote in his life, biographical book, INHERITANCE,
… “My Pappou will always, until his dying breath, be that warm, magnetic, smiling presence – shaking hands, flipping his koboloi (worry beads), kissing us on the cheek, taking us through his gardens, trying to show us the world…that is my Pappou”.
Angeline returned from one of her trips to Greece with olive and orange leaves. She framed them and gave it to Pappou as she knew he was never going to be able to go back to see his olive and orange groves, in his hometown of Amykles, which he had lovingly planted and harvested as a young boy and into adulthood.

ANGELO ANTONAKOS MILITARY SERVICE
Angelo served his military service in the Greek Army For several years in the early 1960s, before marrying and later immigrating to Canada with Bessie. During his military service, Angelo was able to travel throughout most of Greece as he was a driver for many military leaders and Greek dignitaries. He has told us so many stories of duty, fun, friendships, and pride. One of his most memorable experiences was when he proudly stood in the Honour Guard, in full military attire, when Princess Sofia of Greece married Juan Carlos (future king of Spain) in 1962.
In these photos, we can imagine that dad was proudly carrying his gun as such, protecting his princess.
