Kosta 'Gus' Terziev

April 28, 1936 -  September 3, 2018

Kosta 'Gus' Terziev-It is with broken hearts that we announce the sudden passing of our Hero & Patriarch Kosta (Gus) Terziev. Beloved husband and best friend of Hrisula (nee Staios) for 58 years. Amazing father to Chris (Margaret), Mary Clifford (Jerry) and Debbie Terziev-Glenn. Best Dedo to Karlee, Alisha (Justin), Chelsea (Aidan), Alekzander, Jake and Ella. Will be sadly missed by sisters, Velika Stajov, Mora Papaioannou, Anastasia Giountsis and sister-in-law, Christina Terzis.

Fondly remembered by all of Gus’ nieces, nephews, cousins, extended family members, dear friends and his loyal customers from The Village Restaurant. Gus was the founder and owner of The Village Restaurant, Penalty, Karlee’s and Chippy’s Fish & Chips since 1976. Gus immigrated from Tservo, Macedonia in 1955 and lured his bride-to-be, Hrisula to marry and together they have created an amazing family and a wonderful life together here in Canada. Everybody knew Papa Gus with his bigger than life personality that touched everyone that ever met him. A true Macedonian. A Toronto Maple Leaf, Toronto Blue Jay, and Hamilton Tiger Cats fan forever,

I have the fondest memories of Gus, he always greeted everyone with a smile and my late husband Lyle and Gus had many discussions from sports to politics. Gus and I were the same age but he was 2 days older and I always reminded him of that. All my love and prayers to his beautiful family at this most difficult time. God Bless.
