It is with sadness that we heard of the death of Tony Stapleton at Sandy's bar on Monday evening. Although he lived in nearby Sfakera with his wife Barbara they were in the village frequently and would be known to many people. We admired the couple for having the confidence to move to Sfakera in their old age, they enjoyed their life here adopting animals and joining in with the local ex pat society. We understand the funeral is on Friday.

Tony's funeral was yesterday in the beautiful church at Sfakera. The church was full of locals and his British friends. His wife and daughters headed the mourners at the simple Greek Orthodox ceremony with a few words in English at the end on behave of his wife thanking everyone for attending. It was an open casket service and he looked at peace, surrounded by white flowers and maroon and white drapery. He was buried in Roda cemetery with a small gathering at Oscars for his friends and family.
