The plaque commemorates Vince Kalokerinos (1939-2003) for his services to the Curtin community.

Viola and Vince Kalokerinos took over the Curtin Milk Bar in 1971 , Vince passing away suddenly in 2003. A plaque at the Curtin shops commemorates his contribution to the community. 

Viola and her family continued to run the milk bar for another five or so years. Then ACT Opposition Leader Brendan Smyth lauded Vince in the Assembly following his death saying he was "famous for his bags of mixed lollies and his vanilla-malted thick shakes" and, not least, his generosity.
