Mr Mallios,

You were, and still are, an institution and inspiration in this town. I still remember the first day I met you. You have left an impression on my family that will be with us forever. Words fail to describe the bond my father shared with you and the way he spoke of and thought about you.

I guess God was getting lonely up there and wanted one of his best creations...I know you are in a better place now. I hope you and all your loved ones know that you have touched so many more people than imaginable.

Thank you many times over for the memories and the place you have built in our hearts!

You will be terribly missed but not forgotten!

"Stand up guy" is the phrase that comes to mind when I think of Dimitri. My first VA negotiation as a new ANC Commissioner was with him and he was terrific. Tough, but fair. He knew his stuff and did not take advantage of the fact that I did not know mine. He was actually quite kind about it.

I think the neighborhood breathed a little easier when Dimitri was involved in a negotiation. He did not live by the 'win at any cost' credo. He wanted the neighborhood and his client to co-exist – if possible – without bad blood. He understood that long after his part in the deal was done, neighbors would have to live side by side.

“The Great Mallios”

Mr. Mallios was indeed such a wonderful person/boss with a great heart and a great sense of humor. I still find it hard to believe that he is no longer here. I had the pleasure of being his secretary/assistant for the past two years. My family and friends have all told me that they felt like they knew Mr. Mallios because I spoke so highly and often of him. Mr. Mallios touched a lot of lives in such a positive way, including mine. His Spirit will live on forever. I will miss him dearly and HE will never be forgotten. Peace, Prayer, and Blessings!!

Love,
Olivette

Unfortunately, I was always on the opposite side of Dmitri's clients. There is no doubt that he was agreat advocate. He is a legand and he will be missed.

As a community activist who encounterred Dimitri a number of times in connection with ABC matters, I admired his professionalism, toughness, and good humor. He always knew his stuff, and as a resident and customer of the city's hospitality industry I raise my glass to his memory.

Uncle Dimitri, there will always be an empty place in our hearts. We will miss your wit, your charm, your business acumen, your love – we will miss everything about you!

What can I say. I started with Jim Rider a year or two before Mr. Mallios' before the firms merged. I didn't work "for" Mr. Mallios unless he was in a pinch - or Julie took 10 minutes off". Mr. Mallios was a gentleman, who was quicker with a compliment or a joke than with a complaint. He was direct, honest, and open. If he touched your life, you knew you were all the better for it. I wish I could be there, but Texas is a long way. I just wanted the family to know that although I have been gone 5 years, he always remained in my thoughts and heart. Bless all of you.
