by 
An angel on Earth, Constantin (Gus) Vlahavas, was laid to rest with distinction today, Monday Nov. 10, 2014, at Calverton National Cemetary, Calverton, NY. Vlahavas died on Tuesday Nov. 4, 2014 due to respiratory complications after an awe-inspiring life of continual service to his beloved Brooklyn community.
Vlahavas’ funeral at Sts. Constantine & Helen Cathedral, 64 Schermerhorn St., Brooklyn inspired a host of family members, friends, former customers, and associates to attend his home-going service. They showed their heartfelt sympathy to the family and paid their final respect to the man they loved. Presiding Priest Father John Lardas said, “Constantino was a role model who left the world a better place.” His Grace, Sevastianos, Bishop of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America, stressed Vlahavas’ display of an unwavering commitment to the Church.
At Sunday’s wake folks reminisced about Gus’ caring and humble spirit. Continuous lines formed outside the Cobble Hill Chapels, 171 Court St., Brooklyn. “Every morning, Gus would ask me…Are you going to eat all of your food? Cause I never did….He was a great guy….he will be missed..”, said Beulah Towns a neighbor and friend. Several colorful floral sprays and baskets displayed at the parlor served as heartfelt tributes to Vlahavas.

People have been streaming into the restaurant offering their condolences since OurBKSocial confirmed the news of the long-time owner’s passing. The Vlahavas family who opened Tom’s Restaurant (named after Vlahavas’ father) back in 1936 at 782 Washington Avenue had no idea what a tremendous impact this little Brooklyn neighbor diner would have on the lives of so many.
Vlahavas survived by his mother, Stella, said, “only God can get me through the loss of my son.” He also leaves to mourn wife, Nonie, children, Beth and George, Thomas and Maureen, Samuel and Erica, grandchildren Nicholas, Dean and Ethan and a host of family members and friends.
In memory of Constantin (Gus) Vlahavas, let us make a commitment TODAY to serve our community a little bit more.
