Δαμασκηνός Ιωαννίδης

(από Καμινάρια Κύπρου)

Με μεγάλη μας θλίψη ανακοινώνουμε τον θάνατο του αγαπημένου μας πατέρα και παππού Δαμασκηνού Ιωαννίδη. Ο Δαμασκηνός ήταν πολύ γνωστός στην κοινότητα για τις υπηρεσίες του στην εκκλησία. Ο πατέρας μας αποφοίτησε από τη Θεολογική Σχολή Αθηνών και η εκκλησία ήταν πάντα το επίκεντρο της ζωής του. Ήταν ψάλτης στην εκκλησία των Αγίων Αναργύρων στο Gospel Oak, Highgate από την ίδρυση της το 1971. Ήταν γνωστός για το εβδομαδιαίο εκκλησιαστικό του κήρυγμα στους Αγίους Αναργύρους για πολλά χρόνια και για το εβδομαδιαίο  θρησκευτικό του άρθρο στην Ελληνική Εφημερίδα ‘’Ελευθερία’’.  Αφήνει πίσω τα παιδιά του, Ελένη, Δήμητρα και τον Σωκράτη και τις οικογένειές τους, μεταξύ των οποίων επτά εγγόνια. Θα λείψει πολύ. Η κηδεία θα γίνει την Τετάρτη 1 Ιουνίου 2022, στις 12:30mm στην εκκλησία St Anargyre, 1 Gordon House Road London NW5 1LN και η ταφή στις 14:30μμ., στο New Southgate Cemetery Brunswick Park Rd. Η οικογένεια θα ήθελε να σας προσκαλέσει να τιμήσετε τη ζωή του στη συνέχεια στο Holy Trinity Church Hall (απέναντι από το Sainsbury’s στο Winchmore Hill) Green Lanes Winchmore Hill London N21 3RS..

    I am writing to express my sympathy to Eleni Dimitra and Socrates for their loss. I first met the Ioannides family in 1977.Then we stayed in their house many times enjoying their hospitality and they also enjoyed ours during holidays in Greece. Both Damaskinos and Sotiroula stay in my mind as two of the most beloved persons I have met in my life and the children too although we have not met for years. Rest in Peace Damaskinos
