Spyros Papadopoulos ’90

An automobile accident near his home in Athens, Greece, on Sept. 25, 1999, cut short the life of Spyros Papadopoulos at the age of 32.

Spyros came to Princeton after being educated at Athens College. He lived in Rockefeller College during his first two years at Princeton and then joined Colonial Club. An aerospace engineer, Spyros joined Princeton's rifle team, played intramural soccer and basketball, and-as an indication of his interest in computers-noted that he enjoyed e-mail in our yearbook long before electronic communication was as widespread as it is today.

After graduation Spyros continued his education at Stanford, where he received a master's in industrial engineering in 1991. He then returned to Greece for compulsory military service, spending 18 months in a unit offering ground support to the Greek army's helicopters. Spyros then joined the Kantor consulting firm in Athens. In 1997 he joined a mining company where he worked as a quality manager until his death.

Spyros is survived by his wife, Christina, who joined us at our fifth reunion, as part of the couple's honeymoon, and by his parents, Pandelis and Danai-Christina, and his younger brother, Stefanos. To Spyros's family and friends the class extends its deepest sympathy. Spyros's family would appreciate hearing from any classmates who knew him. They can be reached at 38 Fillidos Street, GR-14562 Kifissia, Greece.
