Obituary of Vasilios S. Paleokostas

Vasilios “Bill” Paleokostas, 64, passed away on November 14, 2020 in Morristown, NJ. He was born May 3, 1956 in Paravola, Greece to Sotirios and Vasiliki (Patlias) Paleokostas. He is predeceased by his wife of 40 years, Zoe.

Bill immigrated with his wife to the United States in 1980. He was co-owner of The Plaza Diner in Bloomfield, NJ for over 30 years.

His greatest joy in life was family, which he valued over everything. He enjoyed spending time with his family and friends, cheering on his grandchildren at their games and recitals, and visiting his beloved homeland. Even after a lung cancer diagnosis in 2018, his spirit never wavered and he beat cancer like a boss in 2020.

Bill is survived by his 4 children, Steven and wife Ashley, Vicky and husband Billy, Sandy, and Dimitri; grandchildren, Loula, Zoe, Demetra, Alexander, Mila, Christiana and Adriana; his sisters, Alexandra and Fotini; brother and sister-in-law, Gus and Effie, and niece and nephews, Angie, Billy, Dimitri, Chris, Sotiris, Rania, and Vicky.
