<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,;">When I met Demetrios (</span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #3b5998; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,;">[[https://www.facebook.com/henry.marks.182|Henry Marks]]</span><span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,;">) he was a kisser -- at my first events he surprised me with his generosity in that area. He was brilliant and crazy and fun and loved being a colorful Byzantine. He made liqueur with the strangest combinations you never thought you'd love (such as lilac-fennel or orange-anise). His Laurelling was the event I got my AoA. I have the site token and several of the rings Toli made for that day in a shadow box with other prized possessions. I sang</span><span class="text_exposed_show" style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #141823; font-family: Helvetica,Arial,;"> my first Byzantine chants for his ceremony, and I made the craziest set of Byzantine garb you have ever seen -- using hot glue and velcro -- in his honor. I was blessed to call him apprentice brother. He taught me so much about having fun with research in the SCA, about helping others fit in, and about leading by example. Much later, he taught me that sometimes being peerlike means being honest about your failings, saying no, or admitting defeat. His gift to the scholarship of Byzantine cookery was amazing, and his ability to make anyone smile legendary. I am sad today that some of you never got to meet him. May his wordfame live forever!

He taught me how much fun period cooking could be. I will never forget the alien spores Mikhail and I made. (They were supposed to be a form of Pasty) Nor the look on our Master's face as he says "what did you do to them". He taught me to never again drink anything Lilac, nor to trust a Byzantine with a bag of Liqueurs. But most of all he was one of the first peers in the society to see something in me that I didn't see in my self. He will be missed.

Though, he would have been annoyed had I attempted to do either of those.</span>

|in the Kingdom of An Tir where he had resided since his retirement.</span>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Demetrios was a Master of the Laurel. He was one of the founders and
first Guild Master of the Calontir Cooks Guild. He is probably best
known for loving a good discussion and the wearing of "earth tones.".</span>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">He loved to challenge folks to do better research, to be a better
person. He wanted to know the why as well as the how it was done in
medieval times. He was well traveled - having been to Greece and the
Galapagos Islands (just two of the places that I can remember hearing
about.)</span>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">When in Calontir he lived in the Barony of Vatavia, but was claimed as
a member by the Barony of Mag Mor.</span>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">Mundanely, he was a director of a treatment facility until he retired.
At which time he moved to An Tir and began writing and publishing
several books. His best known book (now out of print) was Byzantine
Cuisine.</span>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;">May his journey to the afterlife be filled with joy and bounty
