Spyro Paxinos
Spyro Theodore Paxinos passed away on August 25, 2020, surrounded by his fam-
ily after a 20-year battle with Parkinson’s Disease. He is survived by his devoted wife,
Esther, daughters Ellen and Christine, granddaughters Nina, Eva, Ana, and Ani, sons-in-
law Rainer Cvillink and Dan Maruccia, and brothers Kosta and Yiorgo. He is preceded
in death by his beloved sister, Nina.
Spyro was born in 1937 on the island of Ithaka in Greece. In 1953, after severe earth-
quakes decimated his home in the frail post-war country, Spyro left Greece to find work.
Just shy of his 16th birthday, he traveled to Zimbabwe, where he worked as a server in
a café. From Africa, Spyro journeyed to his sister in Melbourne, Australia, and worked
at his uncles’ fruit shop and eventually owned and operated a milk bar. In Australia, he
met Esther, the love of his life, who was studying at the university. Not having finished
high school, he was unable to study in Australia. Encouraged by his brother Yiorgo
who was studying at the University of California, Berkeley, he applied to immigrate to
the United States. His visa was granted in 1965, and he joined his two brothers in San
Francisco. Esther arrived in 1967, they married, and for the next 53 years, remained
inseparable. Spyro attended night school while working as a vacuum salesman in his
brother Kosta’s shop. In just 27 months, he not only obtained a high school diploma,
but graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering. He moved his family
to San Jose and found work as an engineer at DCA, (later Trio Tech), a reliability test-
ing laboratory serving the aerospace industry. Spyro eventually acquired the lab, now
known as General Test Laboratory (GTL), and served as its President and CEO until his
retirement in 2002.
Spyro was extensively involved in the Greek community in the Bay Area. He served
on the Parish Council at St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in San Jose and was a
founder of both its Greek School and the Democritus Society. In later years, he was one
of the founding members of the Elios Society. Spyro was also a 32nd degree Mason, a
Shriner, and a past master of the Mountain View Masonic Lodge.
A philanthropist particularly devoted to Lefki, the village where he was born, Spyro
was recently honored and celebrated for his role in restoring the village church and
renovating the school to create a community venue for the village.
Spyro was happiest in Koutoupi, his home by the sea on Ithaka, Greece. Once retired,
he spent six months of the year there, hosting a seemingly endless stream of friends and
family from around the world. He tended to his vineyard and winery in Lefki and was
known for legendary parties where everyone on the island was invited.
Due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, burial services were limited to immedi-
ate family. A celebration of his life will follow once restrictions are lifted. In lieu of
flowers, the family asks that donations be made in Spyro’s memory to the Michael J.
Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research (https://www.michaeljfox.org), or to the Saint
Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in San Jose, CA (https://saintnicholas.org).
