John Papakonstantinou
Long-Time Chamber Member
Our friend and colleague John Papakonstantinou passed away on March 6th, 2026. He will always be remembered by our community for his warm spirit and unmistakable presence. With his big smile and deep, gravelly voice, John had a way of making people feel welcome. He was a loyal and enthusiastic supporter of the Chamber, rarely missing an event and always showing up with his wonderful sense of humor. More than anything, John will be remembered for his kindness and the genuine friendships he built with so many of us. His presence will be deeply missed, but the warmth and goodwill he shared will remain with the Chamber community for years to come.
