Individual Details

James Nicholas Pappas

(9 Aug 1897 - 5 May 1985)

This is the Jimmy Pappas who built the Papagiannakos School in Agios Ioannis. Jimmy Pappas built the Papagiannakos School in Agios Ioannis (St. Johns) in 1955 which is in use to this day (2014). He would also purchase plots of land to give to the daughters of Aristeides Papagianakos as Aristeides had only daughters and not sons (from Ann Morfogen to Carol Kostakos Petranek, July 25, 2022)

Per Ann Morfogen (granddaughter, Nov. 6, 2013): My grandfather Morfogen and my grandfather Pappas were partners in the restaurant on 14th Street.
