Euclid James Sperow
Euclid James Sperow 3/13/31-3/21/20. Beloved father, family man, and patriarch. A Jovial, Magnanimous, and Helpful friend to all. Born in SF in the Bayview to Greek immigrant parents. Served in the US Navy. Married to Betty Horn Sperow for 15 years and then Rosalie Canale Sperow for 43 years until her death. Like his father and brothers, he became a lifelong licensed barber owning his own shop in the Sunset for 20+ years while enjoying remodeling and real estate on the side. A self-made man, Uke turned his vocation into a second profession when he earned his contractor’s license in his 40’s and established Sperow Construction working with longtime employee and friend Jose Garcia – a license he continued to use until he obtained his last building permit a week before his passing. Survived by 2 daughters Janice & Sandra Sperow, 3 siblings, Anthony Sperow, Angeliki SperowTrujillo, and Basil Sperow (his brother Beli Sperow and his sister Katherine Sperow Watson having predeceased him); 2 grandchildren, Jack & Lucille Sperow, and a huge, loving Greek family. Celebration of life will be held at the Main Chapel of the Italian Cemetery, 540 F St. Colma, CA on July 31, 2021 at 10:15 am.
