Constantine “Kosta” Andreopoulos, 97, of Northvale, NJ, passed away peacefully at home on Monday, October 6, 2025. Beloved husband of Eleftheria (nee Ramantani). Loving father of Theodora and her husband Dimitri and Nicholas and his wife Thalia. Adored grandfather of Irene, Alex, Thomai and Dean. Dear brother of Georgia Sotiropoulos and the late Maria Hatzgiathanasiou.
Kosta was born in Proussos, Evrytania, Greece and grew up in Athens. He lived in Canada for approximately 10 years and in the United States for 59 years. He owned and operated Costa’s Shoe Repair in Northvale for 25 years before retiring. He was very proud of his Greek heritage, loved rembetiki music especially by Tsitsanis, loved to walk around Athens and visit the stores he remembered as a young man, and, most of all, loved playing the accordion. He also enjoyed watching educational documentaries regarding history, nature and the universe.
Kosta shared many stories of his life and his experiences emigrating to Montreal and then the New York City area. He held many different types of jobs when he was living in Montreal but returned to his trade of being a shoemaker when he opened up his store in Northvale. He was a hard worker and made the most of the opportunities that came his way. Kosta was cherished by his family, especially his grandchildren, and will be missed very much.
Visitation will be at St. John’s Greek Orthodox Cathedral, 353 E. Clinton Ave, Tenafly, NJ on Friday, October 10, 2025 from 10-11 AM with a funeral service to be held at 11 AM. Internment will follow at Tappan Cemetery, Tappan, NY.
