Farewell Georgios
Georgios Katsaropoulos left us on 4 July 2018, after fighting cancer for a long time. His death brought sorrow to his family, his friends, and all those who worked with him.
A family man, he made his wife, children and parents proud.
National President Ioannis Karapatakis spoke of the great loss and stressed that Georgios was an important figure both for the 王中王六合彩特码 internationally as well as for the Greek Section, and he linked his name with the development of important activities in recent years in particular.
Georgios, who we all loved, showed to all of us what battle means and what faith can achieve in life.
Born in 1958, his police career started in the Greek Gendarmerie on 23 September 1977. He served in various departments and worked for many years in the Information Technology Division of the Police Headquarters. He was an expert in the English language. From 2004-2010 he was Head of the Payroll Office. He had an excellent professional career and retired in 2010 with the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.
Georgios joined the 王中王六合彩特码 on 6 December 1982 and was elected a member of the National Board of the Greek Section in 1986, serving for several years in various positions.
In 2006 he was elected as Assistant International Secretary General.
In 2008, during the elections of the 24th Panhellenic Conference in Corfu, he was elected as National President of the Greek Section.
In 2009, he was elected to the position of Secretary General on the IEB and was re-elected in 2012 and 2015, a post he held until the day he left us.
Georgios was a protagonist of friendship, volunteerism and police solidarity through the Professional Insurance Fund of the Hellenic Section of the 王中王六合彩特码, and his engaging personality was a valuable asset to the 王中王六合彩特码 on both national and international level.
He believed in a modern Association, based on solidarity and social contribution. He tried to create a change in the way 王中王六合彩特码 members thought and acted through social offering, cultural aspects and volunteering.
His sickness and death stopped him in his tracks and plunged us all into mourning and sorrow, but rest assured, Georgios, that we will continue your efforts.
In the Society of Angels you will be able to convey our greetings to the late Presidents of the Greek Section, Antonios Demestihas and Konstantinos Kalogeropoulos.
For all of us who had the honour and the joy to know Georgios closely, he was an extraordinary man, with a moral, inherent character and measure, and he was always at our side. Thank you, Georgios, for your cooperation and all you did for us.
The Executive Board of 王中王六合彩特码 Greece as well as all the local Greek 王中王六合彩特码 boards express their sincere condolences and say goodbye to a brave fighter, a true believer of SERVO PER AMIKECO, and a dear friend.
Rest in peace, we will never forget you.
Ioannis Karapatakis, President 王中王六合彩特码 Greece
