Emmanuel Koxarakis, 80, of Berlin, NH, passed away on December 11, 2019 surrounded by family. Emmanuel was born in Sitia, Crete, Greece on February 16, 1939 and immigrated to the US in 1969, after having served for the Navy Seals of Greece. He met his wife of 42 years, Maria (an immigrant of Portugal) in Cambridge, MA. Together they worked hard to achieve the “American Dream” and established their roots, along with a successful restaurant business, in Berlin, NH. Emmanuel was known to many as a generous and very wise man; helping many friends and family throughout his lifetime. He enjoyed deep sea diving in his younger years, boating, fishing and was an avid hunter, all of which he enjoyed doing with his son, Tony. However, he got the most enjoyment spending time with his family, especially his two granddaughters, Maria and Katerina. Emmanuel leaves behind his wife, Maria; his daughter Despina Koxarakis Dodd and her husband Jason and their children Maria and Katerina; his son Antonios (Tony) and his wife Eleni; his sister and brothers Marika Maridaki, Kosta, Ioannis and Mihali and many more extended family members in the US and Greece. He was predeceased by his brother, Giorgi and his parents, Antonios and Despina.
