ASTORIA, N.Y. – Senate Deputy Leader Michael Gianaris issued the following statement on learning of the passing of Petros Galatoulas, the longtime President of the Federation of Hellenic Societies of Greater New York.

“Petros Galatoulas will always be remembered for his dedication to New York’s Greek American community. We all appreciated the late hours he worked on the annual parade and other community events throughout the year. His commitment to the Hellenic community was unmatched.
