Son of Konstantinos G. Kyritsis and Vasiliki Kyritsis (nee Drizis).
The family roots are in the graphic mountain village of Kastaniani in Northern Epirus within walking distance of the Albanian border.
The surname 'Kyritsis' was a result of my paternal grandfather being adopted by his maternal uncle, Konstantinos D. Kyritsis. Prior to the adoption, the surname was 'Demos'.
Born in Tashkent, Uzbekistan (formerly USSR) in 1956 and returned to Greece with my parents Konstantinos and Vasiliki and sister Katerina in 1957.
Grew up and attended elementary and secondary school in Piraeus until the age of 15.
The family, including the new addition of the younger brother George, immigrated to Toronto, Canada in 1971 where I completed my studies at the University of Toronto.
Married to Aprodite Karounos in 1979 have been blessed with three wonderful children, Anastasia Vasiliki, Zaharoula Euthemia, and Constantine.
