He was married to Urania Angelo . He had five sons, John, George, Peter, Alex and Gus. He had a brother who lived in Chicago.<br>Leonidas was not his real name, it may have been Fagakis or Fugakis. I don't know the town he came from or if it was Greece or Turkey. I am looking any family that might me around.
