Obituary of Elias "Louie" Halvatzis

We are heartbroken to share the passing of Elias Halvatzis. Born in Greece, Elias “Louie” came to America young, proudly served in the U.S. Navy, built a very successful business in the Fur market, and served as a New York City firefighter. A devoted husband, father, and grandfather, he lived life to the fullest — always smiling, sharing his quick wit and fun sarcasm, traveling, golfing, and enjoying a good vodka and cigar with family and friends. He touched countless lives with his humor, warmth, and generous spirit, and will be deeply missed by all who knew him.
