Otis Tekakis
    Otis K. Tekakis, 84, passed away Saturday, Dec. 18, 1999, at Middletown Regional Hospital.
    He was born on the Greek island of Crete in the village of Vathi and served for the Greek National Army. He came to Middletown in 1937.
    Otis was a well-respected businessman. He was part owner of Lindon's GMC as well as the owner of several other downtown Middletown investments. As part owner and manager, Otis is best known for his leadership at the Liberty Restaurant, which has been a Middletown landmark since 1925.
    For over 60 years he faithfully prepared the special family recipe of the famous Liberty Chili, which has now been passed down to the next generation. The people who know him best are the regular customers of the restaurant. He was dedicated to his businesses, but always had time for his family. He was also an avid golfer, sportsman and gardener.
    He was affectionately known as "Uncle Otis." He was loved and respected by his nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews whom he helped raise and educate.
    The closest to him know he was an honest man who helped anyone in need. As one of the quiet leaders downtown, he had contributed to many charities and benevolent endeavors, never seeking recognition or headlines. His public service organizations include: honorary member of the Liberty Round Table, Chamber of Commerce, American Hellenic Educational and Progress Association (AHEPE) and a lifetime member of the Middletown Sportman's Club.
    He was preceded in death by his parents, Constantine and Maria (Georgilas) Tekakis and a sister, Krystallia (Tekakis) and husband John Pantel.
    He is survived by a sister, Irene (Tekakis) Valen of Middletown; nieces and nephews, Judge Anthony and Carol Valen of Middletown, Despina (Valen) and Jim Sakelos of Cincinnati, Irene (Pantel) and George Cavalaris of Florida, Nick Pantel of Cincinnati, and Gus and Betty Pantel of Puerto Rico; first cousins, Eleni (Nikoloudakis) and Aris Kopsidas of Rockville, Md., and Chrisanthy (Tekakis) Christie of Miami, Fla.; greatnieces and greatnephews, Irene (Valen) and Anthony Zalants of Middletown, Angela (Valen) and Tom Retzios of Middletown, Connie (Valen) and Tom Hodson of West Chester, Gus and Kelly Valen of Middletown, John and Kathy Sakelos of Cincinnati, Mary (Sakelos) Barnhart of Colorado, Irene (Sakelos) Sylvester of Cincinnati, Nick Sakelos of Cincinnati, John and Susan Cavalaris of Fairfield, Alice (Cavalaris) and Mike Larkin of Florida, John, Chris, and Alex Pantel of Cincinnati and Sophia Pantel of Pureto Rico; and 17 loving great-great nieces and nephews.
    ARRANGEMENTS: Visitation is today, Dec. 21, from 5 to 8 p.m. at Joseph Baker-Stevens Funeral Home, with AHEPA memorial services at 6:30 p.m. and church services at 7 p.m. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 22, at Sts.
