Family Killed In NW DC Home Remembered In Obituary

WASHINGTON (AP) -- Three members of a family murdered in their Washington home are being remembered "for their devotion to family and charitable efforts for the less fortunate."

An obituary published Tuesday in The Washington Post remembers Savvas Savopoulos, his wife Amy and their 10-year-old son Phillip.

The obituary also calls Savvas Savopoulos, the CEO of American Iron Works, a martial arts and power boat enthusiast. Amy Savopoulos is remembered as "an active volunteer."

Their son Philip, a fourth-grader, wanted to be a professional Formula-1 racecar driver and had a "comprehensive knowledge of the NBA, its players and statistics."

The family was found dead in their home May 14. A housekeeper, Veralicia Figueroa, was also killed. Daron Dylon Wint, who once worked for American Iron Works, has been arrested in the case.
