It is with great sadness that we remember Peter Jasonides, a much loved member of the AGWS/PRONIA family. Peter was part of our Richmond team in the early 90’s and helped co-ordinate our various employment programs. For those of us who were lucky enough to work with Peter, we will remember his gregarious laugh, twinkling smile and unwavering love and support. We give strength to Helen, Anatoli, George and all his extended family and friends during this time. Αιωνία η Μνήμη
