Evangelos K. Manolis

October 4, 2020

Evangelos K. Manolis, a resident of Oradell, NJ and formerly of Evia, Greece entered eternal rest on Sunday, October 4, 2020. Beloved husband of Theadora (nee) Argeros for 54 years. Devoted father of Constantine Manolis and his wife Regina, Eva Battaglia and her husband John, and Sophia Manolis. Loving grandfather of Nicholas and Andrew Battaglia. Dear brother of Dimitri Manolis and his wife Georgia. Cherished friend of his pet dog, Alex. His memory will be cherished by his many loving family members and friends. Evangelos was a retired, renowned auto mechanic of 50 years and nautical engineer. The highlight of his career was not owning his own business, but it was teaching his mastery to those he met along the way. He was a kind-hearted and generous man who made everyone who had the good fortune of knowing him feel cared for and put at ease. Evangelos was a longtime and active parishioner and member of Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John The Theologian in Tenafly, NJ. He was a proud member of the Order of AHEPA Bergen Knights Chapter No. 285. One of his favorite pastimes was cruising around the world with his wife Theadora and was always one of the first in line for the shrimp and lobster. Evangelos put his heart and soul into the things that were important to him in life and so he gave everything he had to the people around him. He went out of his way at work and in his community to not only help those who needed help but to also teach them a lesson so they could fend for themselves in the future. Up until his last moments, Evangelos was diagnosing his family's car from bed to make sure his family would be taken care of. Friends and family are invited for visitation this Thursday from 4-8PM at Volk Leber Funeral Home, 268 Kinderkamack, Oradell, NJ. Funeral service on Friday, 10:30AM at Metropolitan Cathedral of St. John The Theologian, Tenafly, NJ. Interment to follow at George Washington Memorial Park.
