George was such a great guy!! I knew him through the Disabled American Veterans local chapter at their annual Valentines Dance in previous years. George was always smiling and always willing to help anyone. I know he’s up above watching down on everyone .
I attended St Bail High with George for 4 years and got to know him very well. He was immensely liked by all of his classmates. George started a chess club at our high school and was almost unbeatable. He rode the bus to and from work after college and often found himself riding the bus with my mother who used the bus for public transport. Whenever he saw her he would always move to sit by her to chat, to see how she was doing and always asked about me. Just a kind gentle soul. Rest in peace my friend.
Please accept my deepest condolences on the passing of George. He was truly a remarkable individual. George had an unforgettable smile—one that brought genuine joy to everyone around him. His positive spirit and happiness were constant and will be deeply missed.
I would also like to extend my sincere regards to his brother, Frank. He was a devoted and caring brother, always advocating for George’s needs and ensuring he was well looked after. The love and dedication he showed were evident to all who knew them.
May God grant eternal rest to George, and may perpetual light shine upon him. May the Lord bring comfort and peace to your family, and may His loving presence be felt during this time of sorrow. Please know you are in my prayers.
