Our senior year, Pete and I went to ECU for orientation. We both immeditely loved the Pirates from that time on. The next year, our freshman year there, Pete did well and joined Sigma Nu fraternity. He was very popular and before long he was the president of the fraternity. Pete and I stayed friends through most of his life. Many years later, he would come by my office just to shoot the breeze. Pete was a very successful stock broker with Dean Witter Reynolds until he became disabled way too early in life, probably when he was around age 40. He was always kind and caring and I consider it a privilege to have known him.
I KNEW PETE AT GRANVILLE SCHOOL. HE WAS QUITE POPULAR, AND EVERYONE LIKED HIM. I HEARD HE PASSED A FEW YEARS AGO, AND I WAS ASTONISHED. JUST SEEMED LIKE A GUY SO ALIVE HE WOULD LIVE TO BE AN OLD MAN! MARY LOU BATES FLYNT
This is to summarize the obituary of my old friend, Pete Hondros:
Mr. Peter A. Hondros, 50, formerly of 101 Forest View Drive, died Tuesday, October 11, 1994, at Meadowbrook Manor, Clemmons North Carolina after a long illness. He was born June 10, 1944 in Winston-Salem to Mrs. Chrisoula S. Hondros and the late Arthur K. Hondros and was a retired senior vice president at Dean Witter. A member of the Greek Orthodox Church, he was a graduate of East Carolina University and a member of Sigma Nu Fraternity. He was a key founder of the Reynolda Rotary Club, its first president and a Paul Harris Fellow.
Surviving, in addition to his mother are a daughter, Elaine Hondros,and a son, John P. Hondros,both of Winston Salem; two sisters, Mary (Mrs. George K.) Pappas of Winston Salem and Virginia (Mrs. John) Lampros of Fayetteville; a brother, Harry Hondros of Winston Salem. Also surviving him were many nieces and nephews and a multitude of friends. Another brother, George A Hondros died previously.
Following a funeral service on Friday, October 14, 1994 at the Greek Orthodox Church with Father Demetri Kangelaris officiating, Pete was laid to rest at Salem Cemetery
I remember Pete from Granville Elementary all the way through RJR. He was known as the "cutest guy in class" in 7th grade and I was once partnered with him in dance class; thought I was going to faint and probably stepped on his feet more than the floor, but he was too kind to mention it. So sad that he passed so young.
