On behalf of the Greek Community of Melbourne, we extend our deepest condolences to the Greek Orthodox Community of NSW on the passing of your esteemed Secretary, Mr. Michael Tsilimos. His sudden loss has deeply saddened us, and our hearts are with you during this difficult time.

Michael was a valued member of the Greek Orthodox Community of New South Wales, whose dedication, hard work, and commitment to the Greek Australian community left an indelible mark. His contributions as Secretary will always be remembered with great respect and admiration. His tireless efforts in service of his community were an inspiration to us all, and his passing is a significant loss to both Sydney and the broader Greek community in Australia.

Please know that we stand with the Greek Orthodox Community of New South Wales in mourning and share in your grief. Our thoughts and prayers are with Michael’s family, friends, and all members of your community.
