Mourning for the unjust loss
The death of Iakovos Chatzispyrou caused a shock in Paralimni and plunged him into mourning over his family, his fellow teachers and the students of the "Fotis Pitta" High School of Kokkinohoria, where he taught.
The school was silent, the souls froze, the lessons were paralyzed by the unexpected news. The "school family" of Iakovos Hadjispyrou was shocked and no one could believe the evil that happened. Management and students have the best to say about the character of the 43-year-old teacher.
The principal of the school, Mr. Michalis Papazacharias, who had been working with the unfortunate teacher for two years, said that the unfortunate Hatzispyrou was a dedicated, consistent, conscientious man and an example to be imitated by everyone. "It was really a jewel for our school," he said. With a childish smile and a gentle style, he approached the students and never came into conflict with his colleagues. As a professor of a new field of computer science and computer science, he never refused to provide assistance to the School Secretariat and the school board, and always had excellent relations with his students.
