Send Flowers to the Family Offer Condolences or MemoryDR. DINO SAM PAULOS Dino Sam was taken from us unexpectedly on April 24, 2012, in Victoria, BC. He was born a Spartan on December 2, 1945, in Molai, Greece. Dino immigrated to Canada with his parents at the age of 14 and settled in Winnipeg, where he attended high school and university. Dino received his first degree in biology from the University of Manitoba and subsequently graduated from the Faculty of Dentistry in 1974. After practicing in Winnipeg for a short time, he moved to Victoria and established his practice in Sidney in 1977. Dino practiced dentistry in Victoria for the rest of his days, evolving into one of the world's foremost authorities in the area of biological dentistry. He was very passionate about his work and helped countless people from all over the world restore their health and well-being. Dino did everything in life with extreme enthusiasm and vigor, whether it was cooking in his wood burning oven or scavenging driftwood on a remote beach. Driftwood came to life in his hands and imagination. A hobby that started with a small mirror blossomed into life-sized works of mythological creatures. Dino was a dedicated and loving husband, father, brother, uncle, cousin and friend to many. Dino walked amongst us. His presence will be missed yet the love and joy he brought will live on forever in us all. A celebration of his life will be held on Monday, April 30 at 11:00 am at the Greek Orthodox Church of the Savior, 4648 Elk Lake Drive in Victoria with reception to follow.

In the 4 years that we spent in the same class, Dino was one of the leaders in organizing social events. He was also very discerning of the personalities of those around us and generous to all. Sorry to have lost touch with him when he moved to Victoria. - Posted by: Wilf Schellenberg (Dentist, U, of Manitoba, Class of 1974) on: May 10, 2012
