Tony Giagios

January 21, 1942 - February 1, 2021

Tony “Zissis” Giagios, 79, of Falmouth, KY, passed away at his farm in Harrison County on February 1, 2021. Born on January 21, 1942 in Pyregtos, Greece, Tony was the son of the late Stelios and Hamaidi Adamos Giagios. On February 23, 1969, he married his best friend Gail Giagios in the Bahamas, and they embarked on a journey of a lifetime, full of love, hard work, fun, and adventure. Gail and Tony bought the Dairy Treat in Falmouth, a local landmark, which was the center of social gatherings for generations of Pendleton Countians. They expanded opening Tony’s Steak House, and for decades, Gail and Tony fed the county, offering amazing memorable homemade meals and their fun-loving, spirited company. No matter the weather, Tony made his own sunshine every day. He was the “life of the party.” He was a true friend to many, and one call you could count on in your time of need.
