Christo “Papou” H. Mastrogianis, 86, of Hopkinton passed away at his home April 25. Born in Salem, he was the son of the late Mary (Caracostas) and Hercules Mastrogianis.

Christo took pleasure in gardening, movie nights with his Davis Road neighbors and discussing current events. Christo spent more than 25 years working as a mechanical engineer for Chemplast Corporation. During his retirement, he was employed as a driver with JFK Transportation, a place where he was treated like family and a job that brought him great joy and fulfillment. Most importantly, Christo enjoyed time spent with his family, especially his grandchildren.
