The community is mourning the loss of a dear friend and business owner, Gus Mavragnes from Stella's Diner, who passed away on October 30th. Gus was more than just a caring business owner, he was a friend to us all with the biggest heart for Lakeview and those who lived, worked and visited our neighborhood. He knew everyone that passed by the diner and their kids! Our thoughts and love are with his family during this so difficult time as Gus gets his wings in heaven and finds his latest hot rod to leave a little bit of smoke behind.
We miss Gus dearly and ask you to join us in celebrating his life and all he's done for the Lakeview East Community.
