A virtual tribute to Neocles Basil Leontis will be held Sunday, Jan. 17 at 7 p.m.
Celebrants will share song, prose, poetry, music, letter, and pictures to honor “a generous wise soul who touched so many, Neocles Leontis.”
Evangelia, Neocles’ daughter, organized the tribute along with her sister Natalie, his wife, Vassiliki, Pastor Deb Conklin of Peace Lutheran, Dr. Leontis’ sister Artemis, musician friends, the GRUBS and the Peace Lutheran band, and others.
The web address is tinyurl.com/PeaceBGVideo.
Those who wish to indicate they plan to attend can do so on the Peace Lutheran Facebook page. This is not required.
The tribute will remain available on the site for those who can not view the tribute that night.
Dr. Leontis, who died Dec. 8 in a traffic crash, was a professor of biochemistry at Bowling Green State University and a member of Bowling Green City Council. In his obituary he was praised “as passionate about science as he was compassionate in his pursuit of social justice and environmental sustainability.”
