The loss of its founder and president, Stavros Demos, is mourned by pharmaceutical industry DEMO Ltd.
Born in Tripoli to father Arkas and mother Ayvaliotissa, Stavros Demos studied Economics at the Piraeus Industrial School and Pharmacy at the University of Athens.
He began his first professional steps in a pharmacy in Papagou, but his restless spirit and his ambition led him to the creation of the company, which is today one of the most powerful and reliable pharmaceutical companies internationally.
His driving force was his vision to create a better world.
Hardworking and with faith in people, Stavros Demos was recently distinguished as a pioneer of the Greek Pharmaceutical Industry for his contribution to the development of the sector.
However, Stavros Demos’ true legacy was the love and respect he inspired in those around him. He sought personal connection and mentored many young people, advising them to think positively, set goals, and work towards their dreams.
With a rich trade union and charitable activity, often awarded for his social work, Stavros Demos was characterized by his sense of justice and the inextinguishable sparkle in his eyes.
Stavros Demos was an excellent family man and his compass was his father’s advice “Tomorrow is today and today is yesterday. Whatever you have to do, do it now. Tomorrow is too late, you have lost”, which he passed on to his children and grandchildren.
Stavros Demos left after just a few days, surrounded by relatives.
The funeral will be held on Thursday, July 4, at 11 am, at the Holy Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior in Kefalari, while the burial will take place in a closed family circle.
His family wishes that instead of wreaths, as a last tribute, the money be deposited in favor of the Ecclesiastical Grocery of the Diocese of Kifissia.
