George Emile Calfo/Kalfopoulos

George E. Calfo, “a citizen of history” as his children have called him, served in the Greek Resistance during World War II (1940-1944), and helped in the evacuation of Saigon (Ho Chi Minh City), Vietnam, in 1975, during the fall of Saigon to the North Vietnamese. He was one of the founders of AMTRACO (American Trading Company) and set up its Southeast Asian headquarters in Saigon. A soldier, business entrepreneur, and family man, George found himself within some of the big moments of his day – experiences that shaped George, and an abiding ethos of gratitude for the good in life. He was born in the American Hospital in Istanbul, Turkey, and left us from Atlanta, GA. He is survived by his wife, Katherine D. Calfo, his three children, Adrianne, David, and George, and six grandchildren, Korina, Joshua (J.J.), Tobias, Jemimah, Grace, and Annie.
