Lieutenant Colonel George Joseph Ertlmeier, U.S. Marine Corps, retired, 81, died January 1 in Annapolis.
 
He was born August 18, 1930, in New York City, and enlisted in the Marine Corps in 1947. While he was serving on the battleship Missouri, his gunnery sergeant—who later became the first Sergeant Major of the Marine Corps—suggested he apply for the Naval Academy Preparatory School; he took the gunny’s “advice” and graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy in 1954. Commissioned in the Marine Corps, he married the former Peggy Fitzgerald of New York City that June. He served as an infantry officer at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, and with the Marine Detachment aboard the aircraft carrier Antietam, before entering flight school; he was designated a Naval Aviator at Kingsville, Texas, in 1958.
 
He began his career as a fighter pilot with Marine Fighter Squadron 232 at Kaneohe Bay, Hawaii, flying the FJ-4 Fury. He transitioned to the F-8E Crusader and deployed to the Western Pacific with Marine All-Weather Fighter Squadron 312 in 1965, where he also served as a Landing Signal Officer with Marine Composite Reconnaissance Squadron 1 aboard various Task Force 77 carriers during the early days of the Vietnam War. He taught leadership at the Naval Academy, transitioned to the A-4E Skyhawk, and in 1969 returned to Vietnam for a combat tour flying from Chu Lai Air Base. He then commanded Marine Attack Squadron 324, the first operational unit to fly the new A-4M, at Beaufort, South Carolina, until he retired in 1974. He became the owner of a technology company in Texas before moving to Annapolis in 2009.
 
He was preceded in death by his son Clay Ertlmeier, who died in January 2007.

Dimitrios Tsiopanos “Jimmy”, a 40-year resident of Annapolis, died suddenly on December 31 from heart-related issues. He was born November 6, 1944 in Kedros, Thessalia, Greece to the late Sotirios and Georgia Tsiopanos. He lost his father, a clay-shingle maker, at the age of 9 months. His mother, Georgia, persevered through a war-torn Greece to raise him and his older sister.

 Schooled through the 7th grade, Jimmy was an excellent student but without money for further education, he left home in his early teens to stake out his own future in the "big cities". After serving in the Greek military, as required by law, he eventually traveled the world on commercial ships and learned his craft from professional chefs, later bringing that experience with him to Canada and America where he became a restaurateur. He moved from Canada to Annapolis in the early 1970's where he eventually managed and owned Timmy's Carryout until 1987. He moved his family to Greece for a brief stay between 1987 and 1989, then returned to the USA and opened The Parthenon Restaurant in Annapolis. Jimmy enjoyed traveling, camaraderie, Greek dance, games and long discussions about politics.
 
With Jimmy’s passing, Annapolis loses a man of superior work-ethic, boundless love, and deep, unquestioning commitment to family and friends. With a smile that could light up a room and deep voice that could bring down the house, he was a force to be reckoned with. In his later years, The Parthenon Restaurant became his home where he greeted friends, family and guests with endless generosity, open arms and a warm heart. He died, as he lived, among family and friends, with music and laughter, joy and celebration. He was loved and will be missed.
 
He is survived by two sons, Steve (Brenna) Tsiopanos of Annapolis and Dino Tsiopanos of Long Island, NY; one sister, Maria (Thomas) Prosgoliti of Kedros, Greece; three grandchildren, Agathe, Evelyn and Hannah Tsiopanos and a niece, Georgia Antoniou of Athens, Greece.
 
Friends are invited to Jimmy’s Life Celebration on Wednesday, January 4, from 6 until 9PM at the George P. Kalas Funeral Home, 2973 Solomons Island Road, Edgewater.
