Although it was not nearly as long as hoped for, I thank you for bringing such love and joy to our Mom. It was an honor to have shared the time that we did with you. Your wealth of knowledge and sense of humor added to our family get togethers. You will be missed. Rest in peace George.
George spoke with so much knowledge. Not to uplift himself, but to offer help to others. He was kind. He also made us laugh. Rest in Peace.
Through the many conversations we had in the short amount of time, there was no doubt the way both Grandma and him cared for each other. There’s never enough time, but the time spent between him and our family was well spent and knowledge passed down will never be forgotten. Rest in peace George, and know that your memory will live on in each and every person that you came in contact with.
George was a fascinating & caring man even though I didn’t know him very long. I will greatly miss chatting with him & hearing his stories. George, you are already missed very much!
Though I wasn’t fortunate enough to know you long , I learned that you were a very decent , intelligent and humble human being who made those around you feel comfortable and welcome . My Mom was head over heels for you and that speaks volumes. You will be greatly missed …… God Bless.
George you are my sole mate and the love of my life. Words cannot express the depth of my love for you. I will always cherish our time together. Thank you for being the most loving husband and for all the happiness we shared. My love, you have my heart until we are together again.
Dear George, the Lord took you from us too soon! I’m going to miss our long conversations about so many different subjects; you were so knowledgeable and I learned enormously from you. I’m going to miss having your sense of humor around. Your cooking will be missed as well (especially the sausage). Thank you for bringing Karen into our lives, we may have lost you but we have gained another family member who we love as your surrogate. I am blessed to have had you in my life, you are loved and we miss you so very much!
I will miss the conversations most…. George was quick witted, intelligent, worldly, kind, and most of all had the ability to make those around him feel important. I am so happy that he was able to find Karen and live in love over the last few years. He became an even better version of himself with her by his side.
I am thankful and blessed to have been a part of your life and will miss laughing with you, talking to you and spending time. I wish there was more time.
Love and Peace always George. We miss and love you!
