NEW YORK, N.Y. -
Michael James 'Kitis' Sofikitis, 61, died Tuesday, May 3, 2005, at NYU Medical

by his beloved wife, Robin Tyburski Sofikitis
of Yorktown; his sisters, Katherine Sofikitis of Newport News and Angeline
Kazakis of New Jersey. The family would like to extend
their heartfelt thanks to a very special group on staff at NYU Medical Center
and the entire staff of Eastgate Tower, Manhattan,
