In detail: “October 16, 2026
Dear George Vardinoyannis,
Dear Giorgos…
I would like to offer you a few words of tribute, coming straight from my heart…
Captain, during the years you were part of our little world, I admired your passion and spontaneity, as well as your “unique”—to some—way of expressing yourself…
An honest, kind man with a characteristically disarming smile…
I’m happy I had the chance to get to know you personally…
The Universe will find a way to convey how I feel about you…
Stay strong, and may your whole family find strength and remember the beautiful moments they shared with you…
With respect and love
Marios Panagiotis Iliopoulos.”
