John came into the restaurant business at a young age, working at the Mayflower Tea Room on Grand Avenue in Baldwin owned by his parents Gus and Jane Poulakis.
John was a veteran of WW2 serving in the Army Air Corps as a waistgunner on B-24 aircraft and in lieu of flowers the family would ask that a donation be made to the VFW 2021 end of year fundraiser
He will be missed terribly and remembered always.
