Nikolaos Tserkis

Nikolaos V. Tserkis, age 76, of Baltimore, MD passed away on October 22, 2018 surrounded by his family and friends. Born in Karpathos, Greece, he immigrated to Baltimore, Maryland in 1966 with the plan of bringing his siblings to the United States to live the American Dream.  That dream came true as his time in America progressed.  He worked as a painter, and shortly thereafter formed a family painting business with his brothers.  Finally, they built what today is known as a landmark in Baltimore, their family business, the ship like restuarant known as Captain James Landing.

Nikolaos is survived by his brothers, Michael Tserkis, John Tserkis, George Tserkis and Pantelis Tserkis, his sisters, Arhontoula Georgiou, Kalliopi Houvardas, and Anna Mihaili, his significant other,  Jeannie McCadden, his nieces, Eugenia Hatzidakis, Maria M. Tserkis and Kalliopi Tserkis-Mullins, Eugenia Lentis, Sofia Houvardas, Maria Mihaili, his nephews, Paul Georgiou, Nikolaos M. Tserkis, Vasilios G. Tserkis, John Mihaili, Vasilios Mihaili, Minas Houvardas and Nikolaos P. Tserkis, sister in laws, Panagiota Tserkis, Tina Tserkis, Maria G. Tserkis, Sharon Tserkis and brother in laws, George Houvardas, and Ilias Mihaili as well as numerous grand nieces, grand nephews; and a host of extended relatives, godchildren and friends.

The family will receive friends at the Connelly Funeral Home of Dundalk, 7110 Sollers Point Rd. on Thursday from 3-5 & 7-9 pm.
