Victor Constantine Cocotis

Our beloved Victor Constantine Cocotis passed away unexpectedly on Thursday April 12th in Boise ID, at the age of 73.  Vic traveled all over the west, and in 1973 he opened Western Homes Construction Company in Boise. He then opened the Symposion Cocktail Bar in 1975, which is still going strong today. Once voted the Best in Boise, The “Sympo” is known as a friendly neighborhood bar where dogs are welcome. Vic was an entrepreneur who enjoyed spending time at the bar surrounded by patrons that frequented, a few of which soon became his family. Vic also enjoyed playing chess, shooting pool, spending time with his dog Shasta and traveling when he could to the mountains at Yellow Pine. He was a proud American Greek who loved our country. Vic was a very smart business man with a keen insight and intelligent perspective to the world around him. His loss has impacted many in the community and he will forever be missed and loved by many.
