My sincere prayers and condolences to Ken, all the Reardons, Inlaws, neices and nephews.
George is one of the best persons, I have ever known, as a boss, a mentor and a sincere friend. Someone special to me sent me a prayer/poem that I know George can and would relate to.....
One Hundred years from now.
It will not matter what kind of car I drove.
What kind of house I lived in.
How much I had in my bank account.
Nor what my clothes looked like.
But the world may be a little better...because I was important in the life of my family and friends.

George was and is from same cloth.
As a friend, a boss and a sincere person....he is unmatched.
He has made his mark on this earth, now upstairs can embrace him with open arms.

Miss you my good friend!

Mr. & Mrs. Reardon, Cheryl, Ruthie, Beth and Ellen, and to all of George's family and friends,

It is most difficult to KNOW what you are going through with the loss of your son, brother and friend. We unfortunately, have recently experienced a similar tragedy with Chuck's recent sudden death. I wish I could tell you it gets better or easier, but it just changes things.

George's death is such a great loss because it involves losing a part of what was a very important part of your lives. Everyone and everything that we love becomes a part of us, and when we loose even very small parts of us, (hangnail) it is painful.

But it's important to realize that George will always be with you. He lives on in your hearts, in memories of your experiences with him and in the lives of all who knew him.

He is still close to you in spirit, having only gone beyond the sound of your voices and the touch of your hands.

After your grief has eventually been softened by time, you will find great comfort in knowing that George and all your loved ones who have gone before you are safe and free from all tears, pain, trials, and troubles ... for now they are where nothing can ever hurt them again.

I had the privilege of working with George at Bank of America and Fleet Bank. We never met personally, but communicated regularly over the years. He was a knowledgeable resource, a kind and helpful business partner and a fine gentleman. He will be sorely missed. My thoughts and deepest condolences are with his loved ones.

George was a wonderful man. I had the pleasure to work with him at Fleet and BAC. George was a leader, an accounting guru, and one that I could look to for guidance. My thoughts and prayers go to his family and friends.

Liz,
I was so sad to learn of your brother's passing.
Although I never had the pleasure to meet your brother George I felt somehow I knew him. I knew of his courageous battle to live from the beginning of his fight and all that he went through bravely.
One could only admire his inner strength and the fight he fought against this terrible disease.
You,Bill,Alec,Evan,your Mom&Dad, George's Loving Partner Ken, All the Reardon Family and all who knew and loved George are in my thoughts and prayers.
With much sadness and caring,
Sincerely,
Sue Helmar

To all of us who knew George, we knew a man who was certainly one of God's chosen. I met him when Cheryl and John were dating and later planning their marriage. Since that time I have met him multitude of times at family functions which he always attended. He was a wonderful son to his parents, a guiding brother to his sisters, a great uncle to his nephews and nieces, and as I recall a worthy godfather to Bryana, Cheryl's and John's first child. I know that he was a good friend and partner to Ken, who shared their love together, and as time went on participated in our family functions. I would like to write a saying by Bryana who wrote the following in the year 2001.
Sacred
Open wide the door,
God will be there forever more,
With open arms he'll stay,
For you to come and pray.
Just one quiet time alone,
For God to call you home
It is higher than the trees,
Beyond the seven seas,
It makes you feel true love,
From our savoir up above.
Just close your eyes and feel the prayer,
God will always meet you there.

Bryana was 13 when she wrote this, and in 2003 this was on the back of her Mimi's prayer card. I am sure that George would like to have his godchild thoughts at age 13 {now 19 3/4] be remembered as we celebrate his life and mourn his departure from this earth. I am sure that God has already meet George and welcomed him into His heavenly home. May those of us who live on, be consoled to know the he is at peace and will truly continue to watch over all those that he loved. I love you George and will miss you, watch over us who are still awaiting God's gift, and let our stay on earth be one of good health to all of us who loved you. Surely God will listen to your supplication. Love, to all the Reardon's and Ken, from John J. Killion, M.D.

Aunt Ruth, Uncle Laddie, Ken, Cheryl, Ruthie, Beth and Ellen, You are all in my thoughts and prayers. Life just isn't fair sometimes. George is in a better place and finally at peace. He fought the fight, but I guess God had other plans for him. Take care. Love, Teresa xoxoxo
