George Spasyk

On May 16, 2019, Sigma lost a great brother, friend, mentor, and leader. As ΛΧΑ’s Executive Director from 1968 to 1990, George Spasyk touched the lives of tens of thousands of ΛΧs. Brother Spasyk continued to advise ΛΧΑ as an emeritus director long after his retirement (he would often joke that emeritus was Latin for “for free”), and he led the development of Sigma’s own alumni association in 2008.

We don’t think we can improve on ΛΧΑ Historian Michael Raymond’s excellent “Reflections on the Life of George W. Spasyk”, but here we share some photos to celebrate Brother Spasyk’s life.
