Mr. Dendias posted on his Twitter account an older photo from Corfu, in which he is pictured with his father, Spyros Dendias.

In his post, he wrote: “We learn life’s most important values from our father’s example. He remains a guiding light even when he is not with us.

Happy Father’s Day to every father!”

The post was accompanied by a throwback photo capturing a family moment from the past in Corfu, the Dendias family’s place of origin.
