He cultivated a lifelong love for nature, learning and patriotism, earning a university degree in Forestry before serving with pride in the Greek military. In 1970, he and Dr. Eleftheria (Ellie) Tsatsaronis immigrated to Canada, in search for new opportunities.

As a man of faith and with a sense of duty, Dimitrios became President of the Community Council of Prophet Elias Church. His most enduring legacy was leading the fundraising and construction of the remarkable Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church in Mississauga in the early 1990s. As a testament to his vision, perseverance, and devotion, Dimitrios, along with John Dagonas, John Tsatsos, Terry, Frene, George, Agathi, the Philoptochos and many others, the church has become a cornerstone of the Greek Orthodox community of Etobicoke and Mississauga. In 2015, he received the title of Archon, an honoree by his All Holiness, the Ecumenical Patriarch Sotirios.![]()

Elias of great fame was from Thisbe or Thesbe, a town of Galaad (Gilead), beyond the Jordan. He was of priestly lineage, a man of a solitary and ascetical character, clothed in a mantle of sheep skin, and girded about his loins with a leathern belt. His name is interpreted as “Yah is my God.” His zeal for the glory of God was compared to fire, and his speech for teaching and rebuke was likened unto a burning lamp. From this too he received the name Zealot. Therefore, set aflame with such zeal, he sternly reproved the impiety and lawlessness of Ahab and his wife Jezebel. He shut up heaven by means of prayer, and it did not rain for three years and six months. Ravens brought him food for his need when, at God’s command, he was hiding by the torrent of Horrath. He multiplied the little flour and oil of the poor widow of Sarephtha of Sidon, who had given him hospitality in her home, and when her son died, he raised him up. He brought down fire from Heaven upon Mount Carmel and it burned up the sacrifice offered to God before all the people of Israel, that they might know the truth. At the torrent of Kisson, he slew 450 false prophets and priests who worshipped idols and led the people astray. He received food wondrously at the hand of an Angel, and being strengthened by this food he walked for forty days and forty nights. He beheld God on Mount Horeb, as far as this is possible for human nature. He foretold the destruction of the house of Ahab, and the death of his son Ohozias; and as for the two captains of fifty that were sent by the king, he burned them for their punishment, bringing fire down from Heaven. He divided the flow of the Jordan, and he and his disciple Elisseus passed through as it were on dry land; ![]()
