Ernest N. Chiulos

Ernest N. Chiulos died peacefully on June 30, 2002, at Woodland Memorial
Hospital after a brief illness. He was 78 years old.

He was born in Roseville on April 18, 1924, to Nicholas and Diamando Chiulos,
who had emigrated from Greece.

The youngest of six children, he graduated from Roseville High School in 1941.
During high school, he enjoyed acting in drama productions and was an
accomplished violinist in the school orchestra. He continued to enjoy classical
music throughout his life.

After enlisting in the Navy in 1943, he received training as a pharmacist's mate
and was assigned to the 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines, 1st Division serving as
hospital corpsman in the battles of Guadalcanal and Okinawa. He was awarded the
Bronze Star for valor, the Purple Heart for battle wounds at Okinawa, the
Asiatic Pacific Theatre Medal, the Victory Medal and the American Area Citation
among other commendations.

After serving in the military, he met Bess Stathopul of Woodland. The couple
married on June 5, 1949, in a Greek Orthodox ceremony at St. Luke's Episcopal
Church in Woodland.

He spent most of his working career in the retail grocery business. He was
well-known in the community as the manager of Stop-n-Shop supermarket in
Woodland for 25 years.

An active member of St. Luke's Episcopal Church in Woodland since 1949, he
served at various times as a member of the church choir and vestry.

In his leisure and during retirement, he enjoyed the time he spent with his
family, especially his grandchildren. He also reveled in giving advice, acting
as "Mr. Fix-It" for family and friends, gardening, and taking walks along the
coast of Pacific Grove.
