Dulwich Hill Gourmet Meats has been in the Papanicolaou family since 1984, but the family’s history in the meat trade goes back much further. George Papanicolaou comes from a long line of butchers from the Greek island of Rhodes. As a kid, he heard stories of how his grandfather would travel by boat to neighboring islands to pick up sheep, cows, and goats, which he’d ferry back to Rhodes.
In memory of Nectarios, whose light and spirit continue to be a cherished part of Dulwich Hill Meats and our community. Necta’s warm personality, infectious laughter, and love of life filled every corner of our shop, making him a friend to everyone who walked through our doors. He was a beacon of joy and kindness, and his presence remains deeply felt.
Necta was a loving husband to Krissy and a devoted father to his beautiful children, Paris and George. As a son to George and Yiota, and a brother to Michael, Dion, and Michelle, he was a constant source of pride and love. His family and friends, along with the Dulwich Hill community, were touched by his genuine warmth and his boundless heart.
Though he is no longer with us, we continue to honour Nectarios’ memory every day. His legacy lives on in the love he shared, the laughter he sparked, and the sense of community he nurtured. We are forever grateful for the support and friendship that surrounds us, and we invite you to keep Necta’s memory alive in your hearts.
