On Monday, Long Beach suffered a great loss, with the sudden passing of Pete Toulios, the owner of Lil Devils.

In addition to being a beloved part of 4th Street, Pete was a dear friend to us at {open}. Our hearts are very heavy right now. We will miss him greatly.

In honor of Pete and his warm, loving heart, please take a moment to tell those you love just how much you love them … and give them a really, really big hug. And raise a toast to Pedro the Greek!
