arrickville Councillors paid tribute this week to their colleague Cr Emanuel Tsardoulias who lost his battle with cancer last weekend. Cr Tsardoulias grew up in Dulwich Hill and worked in retail and local government after school before starting his own businesses working in the food industry. He was active in Marrickville Rotary Club, the Chamber of Commerce, the PCYC and the SES. He was elected to the West Ward of Marrickville Council in 2008 and served as Deputy Mayor in 2012-2013 and was chair of numerous committees. Last year, he and his wife Zoi became proud parents to twin boys, Stephen and Dimitri. Councillors painted a picture of a passionate man with boundless energy and optimism, who wanted to make Marrickville and his ward area in Dulwich Hill a better place; a man who could apply himself equally to grand visions and small problems such as broken footpaths. At Tuesday’s meeting Mayor Jo Haylen read tributes from Mayors of neighbouring councils and described him as a close friend and colleague whom she would miss every day. “He was truly dedicated to his local community and was always supporting projects that delivered real benefits to his residents and brought them together,” Mayor Haylen said.
