Family and friends have paid tribute to Leftheri (Terry) Arhontogiorgis, co-founder of Tim & Terry Oyster Supply, following his passing last week.
Terry was loved as a father, uncle and pappou, and was known for his legacy at Tim & Terry which he founded alongside his brother-in-law Tim Siderellis.
In a social media post announcing Terry’s passing, his family wrote, “He was a true trailblazer, the epitome of hard work, honesty, and integrity. He ran a tight ship, was a teacher to many, and earned respect far and wide, not just for what he built, but for how he carried himself every single day.”
Established in 1964, Tim & Terry are one of the largest premium seafood wholesalers in Victoria. The Footscray-based family business provides quality seafood and food services across Victoria. They cover the Mornington Peninsula, Geelong, Bellarine Peninsula,Country Victoria, Southern NSW and Tasmania, including freight to King Island.
Terry will be remembered for his spark, quiet humour and love for life. “His coffee mug was never far from reach, often topped up with a little whiskey, and he could always be heard singing his favorite Greek songs, bringing warmth and laughter wherever he was,” his family said.
“To us, he was more than a founder. He was our father, uncle and grandfather, our guide, and the heart of so much that we hold dear. A legacy like no other, and one that will live on through all of us.”
The funeral service for Terry will be held on Wednesday, April 8 at 11:30am at the Archangels Greek Orthodox Church in Parkdale, Victoria.
