Paul A. Stavrolakes ’50

A dedicated pediatrician and philanthropist, Paul died March 20, 2015, on Long Island.

He graduated from Trinity (N.Y.) School. At Princeton he was a member of Campus Club and majored in chemistry.

After completing his residency in pediatrics at Flower Fifth Avenue Hospital in New York, he started a solo pediatric practice in Port Jefferson, N.Y., and continued there until his retirement in 1999.

Paul prided himself in maintaining close contact with Greece and his Cretan roots. His first wife, Niki Scoufopoulos, was an archaeologist. After Niki’s death he ran the Aegean Institute, a college-level summer program in Greek studies for American students that she founded.

Paul leaves his wife, Jean, whom he married in 1991; daughters Kim, Georgi, and Dora; son Yako; four stepchildren; and 15 grandchildren. Our condolences go to his extended family.
