Pappan, Nick Matsukas, Frank Matsukas, and Stathe Pournaras. He is survived by his wife of over 68 years, Victoria Nellas, his children, Louis Nellas and Christa (Scott) Ewine of Frederick, Maryland, his brothers, Dr. Jim and (Elaine) Nellas of Pittsburgh and Dr. Alex Nellas of San Francisco, California, his sister-in-law, Joanne Nellas of Pittsburgh, his grandchildren: Spiro Nellas, Griffin and (Jules) Ewine, Isabella Ewine, and Cameron Ewine; as well as his nephews and nieces: Louis J. and (Laurie) Nellas, Zack and (Kristine) Nellas, Mark and ( Kristen) Nellas, Elizabeth Nellas, Hillary and Wayne Miller; along with his great nephew and nieces: Zachary Nellas, Grace Nellas, Anna Nellas, Sophia Nellas, Leeah Miller and Elena Miller; as well as his Godson’s, Demetrios Pappan and George Pournaras, along with his special cousins: Panagiota Pappan, Dr. Spiro and Carol Papas and Leon and Anna Karachristos.

Spiro graduated from Beaver Falls High School in 1950, Allegheny College in 1954, and The University of Pittsburgh School of Pharmacy in 1957. He married his wife, Victoria Paparodis of Salem, Ohio on September 29th, 1957. He opened Hoffman’s Center Pharmacy in Center Square Shopping Center in 1963 and ran the business for over 25 years. Before the rise of the retail chain, Hoffman’s was the place where “if you need it, you could find it.” The drug store offered everything from daily necessities, a jewelry counter where Peg Conrad would greet you, and hot roasted peanuts, to prescriptions where Spiro filled them while listening to 1230 WBVP and Jim “Teddy Bear” Reynolds. Hoffman’s was known by the community for its lunch counter and soda fountain featuring the homemade chili recipe of Mary Bickerton and Muggsy Brown. He gave all he could to his family and will be fondly remembered for his quick wit and dry sense of humor. His favorite time was being with his grandchildren.  Prior to losing his vision, he enjoyed toying in the yard and  garden, could be seen bicycling throughout Chippewa, and swimming laps at the neighbor’s pool.
