Nicholas Euripides Kamboris

Nicholas Euripides Kamboris, fell asleep in the Lord on October 27, 2016 at Meadow Wind Assisted Living in Casper, Wyoming. Nick was born to Peter and Argeri (Capota) Kamboris in Casper, Wyoming on August 16, 1931. ("Natrona County Hospital Rm 126" he always said) He graduated from Natrona County High School in 1949 and attended Casper College. The Kamboris family ran the West "B" Grocery Store in the Sandbar district. In 1945 after his father's death, he continued in his father's legacy with his mother and siblings, Gus and Yeota.

Nick served in the United States Air Force, stationed in Cheyenne, Wyoming as a "Remington Raider". After completion of his military commitment, he returned to Casper where he owned and operated the Wyatt Hotel with his brother Gus. Nick was well known for his knack for business sense and was involved with various establishments in the Sandbar district and Zorba's downtown Casper. His tireless work ethic brought him into real estate and his expertise in the bar/restaurant industry allowed him to purchase the Blue Ox Restaurant. His last big success was in developing Paradise Liquors and Lounge which he created from the ground up. With his love for people and generous nature, Nick created an establishment where lifelong friendships developed, memories were made and nobody was a stranger.

Nick was a kind soul and dedicated Casperite. He was proud of his Greek heritage and loved dancing. He enjoyed traveling to Europe and Mexico where many a good story took place. His passion in life was taking care of his family and friends. His motto when anything was not going as planned was "God will take care of it".

Nick was a member of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church and American Hellenic Educational Progressive Association (AHEPA). Nick loved supporting the military and veterans and was a proud member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 9439. He was a Casper Elks BPO Lodge #1353 member and a previous member of the Wyoming Liquor Dealers Association.

Nick is survived by his wife Maureen, his daughters Candace Lynn Lein, Niki Sue Kamboris, and Dina Lou Kamboris-Betts, step children Christine (Garry) Meyer and son Kevin (Dawn), Tim (Vicki) Swanson and children Chad (Amy), Andrea, Brynn, Trent (Tanya), Tyler (Allison) and Tarra, Todd (Gina) Swanson and sons Travis (Emily) and Conner, Valerie (Robert) Swanson and son Milt.
