Ted was predeceased by his father, Christos; brother Yiannis and very recently by his mother, Katerina. He leaves to mourn two sons, Chris Papagiannopoulos and Tom Papagiannopoulos along with their wives, Susan and Toula; and children, Christopher, Tasha, Sean, Stephanie, Theo, Alexia and Giorgio.

Ted was born and raised in the village of Drymos, Greece. He immigrated to Winnipeg in the early 1960s. He was soon married and had two sons. Ted worked hard as a cobbler at his business, Ted's Shoe Repair in the Courts of St. James for over 30 years. During those years he made many friends and acquaintances in St James, Fort Rouge, where he lived, and throughout Winnipeg. He was a friendly, outgoing man with a hearty laugh and warm words for everyone he met. He spent his summers in Greece in the village with his mother, his childhood friends and many new friends. Ted will be laid to rest in the village of Drymos, Achaeas, Greece, on Sunday, July 19, 2015. The traditional 40-day blessing will be held at St. Demetrios Greek Orthodox Church in Winnipeg, MB on August 30, 2015. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Canadian Diabetes Association.

Learning of Ted's sudden passing in his beloved Greece was very sad news to us. Although our chance conversations and meetings often took place when we were in the back of our houses; Ted always had a big smile, and welcoming words for our family. He never failed to inquire of everyone's well-being, and we always concluded our chats with "Take Good Care of Yourself" to each other. We truly felt he sincerely meant those words each time he spoke them to us...and our consolation now is that we know he is in "the" hands that will truly take care of him. Our thoughts and prayers for comfort and peace are with his family and friends. - Posted by: Alexandra and John Todd (Neighbours) on: Jul 19, 2015
