My buddy! We had a strange way of knowing what each other were up to and doing...for this I considered you as my soul opposite. My heart aches but my mind always jumps in to remind me of the much happier times in our lives. I will always miss you but I also will always remember you. My Georgie Rest Peacefully...

Today , My heart starts to grow heavy, knowing that I lost you and Dad on the 18th. My memories keep me going,Laughter is surely the best medicine. I had a laugh today with Eric
telling about you and Ursie going shopping for me for Christmas. Here.s hoping that the new Granddaughter fills in for some of the loss, that I still feel. I miss and love you. I always will. You made my life complete. With love forever. Marty

Were I to write the book on love I don't know where I'de start. For how can one explain the vastness of the heart. Or even to try to put in words of any quanity,the feelings that are hidded there that other men can't see. It would be like telling one of heaven to explain the vastness there, but for me it's said more simplified by telling one you care. There are no words that go that deep to explain what's in my mind,Not even Webster could come up with one that could define. So for me to write the book on love it's just too hard to do. But to explain it in my heart. It was simply Me and you. Happy Birthday Baby. Love Marty

George I will miss you, too. I know that when we met my life was probably the most chaotic thing going on DC but you took in stride and even tried to stay a little "lower on the horizon." I'm glad we were the same sport coat size. You were one of the only people who appreciated what I able to give you. I'm sorry we couldn't spend more time together but my life and what was going on was too difficult to tolerate.

George; Next Thursday would have been our 22nd anniversary, as I reflect back on all of those wonderfull unforgetable years, My heart grows heavy thinking of you. I Read a poem that truly is about you. Drinking from my saucer. I've never made a fortune. And it's probably too late now.but i don't worry about that much. I'm happy any how.For as I go along life's way,I'm reaping better then I sowed.. I'm drinking from my saucer, cause my cup has overflowed. I haven't got a lot of riches, and sometimes the going gets tough,but there are caring folks around me,and that makes me rich enough. I thank God for his blessings and the mercies he's bestowed. I'm drinking from my saucer cause my cup has overflowed. If God gives me the strength and courage, when the going gets steep and rough. I'll ask not for other blessings, I'm already blessed enough. and may I never be too busy to help others bear their load. With them I'll share my saucer cause my cup has over flowed. With love Forever...Marty

How do I start. Well, since George came into our lives 20 years ago when he came into Marty's life. I knew that he was the best thing that had come into the lives of Marty,Sr.,his children and his wife.
George was a very special person. He knew that I was Marty Crowetz's wife and that we had two wonderful children together that he just loved as if they were his own. He loved me as his friend. Someone to confide in and someone that I could talk to also.
George was a wonderful person. He loved life. Marty,Jr. would always get so excited when he would hear that his Uncle George was here. He knew that it was time for games and for Uncle George to sit and take special time with him. Heather loved her Mamma George. That was her special name for the person that loved her as if she was his. They shopped,talked and just hung out when her Dad, Marty was at work and she was spending a week or so with him.
There is just so much to say about you. I miss you so much. I miss talking to you and the sound of your laughter. I miss the way you would keep my spirits up when you saw that I was down. You always knew what to say. My mom loved you also. She alway said that you were the best thing to come along for Marty.
Yes, our relationship was strange. You were Marty,Sr.s partner.You were good for him, and I always thanked God that you came into the lives of the whole family, because you were our family.You still are in our family as long as you are in our hearts, our thoughts and inbedded in our souls.
Marty,Jr. still talks to you by your piano in the living room at Northeast. He tells us that you are sitting on the piano bench.He knows, that's so special about him. His innocence and special ways can see more than we could ever wish for.
George, I knew that this would get long. I have so many fond memories about you.
You remain in my prayers, my heart,my thoughts and my soul as a special man and friend. God bless you. You may be gone in body, but I know that your spirit still watches over Marty, our children and me. I will always love you and miss you.

Georgie....November 22 2007 would have been 20 years since I met you that Thanksgiving day on "0" Street and I am for ever thankfull for the time we had together...I guess for me you set a standard too high for most men too meet...the Loyality, the Honesty,the never forgeting to say I Love You...And More you were my Friend...Love Marty
November 30, 2007
Georgie,
Your Thanksgiving presence filled the house and flickered the chandelier over Marty's dining room table with all seats filled with loving family, friends and extended familiy. He loves you more than words can say. You are his light, his love, his life. Like you, he's a beautiful man! An angel to all and most all never know, but three.

A little over a year later, and it still hurts horribly not having you by my side. I often remember how you would hold me and listen when I was really feeling the loss of Kent, now on what would have been his 43rd birthday I find myself missing you, my life's last great love. You are and will always be with me my love. I feel you everywhere and talk about you constantly... just as I did with Kent. I'll never forget the time you looked at me when I was feeling this way about him and said "you know I didn't know the man but I feel like I did because of you"... and now I have you to carry too. I don't know baby, honestly I am surprised I am still here with all the pain losing you still causes but I continue despite the pain and my lack of desire to continue, holding to the notion that the worse thing I can do is dishonor your memory and his by not continuing to be the man that you both fell in love with. I LOVE YOU GEORGE AND I MISS YOU TERRIBLY WITH EACH PASSING DAY.
Forever -n- ever yours
---Larry

George is a great brother that I looked up to and admired. He always amazed me with his artistic ability be it playing music, singing or his art work. He was a free spirit, loving life to its fullest. I have never met anyone who knew George that had a negative thing to say, he was loved by all. I deeply regret not spending as much time with him in our adult life, but we always thought we would have the opportunity to do so. So all I can say is call your loved ones and let them know how much they are loved because tomorrow is promised to no one. I Love you George and I am proud that you are my brother.

Be still like the grass on a melancholy summer day
Be still like desert shrub.
Be calm and you will hear your loved one speak, in the stillness, in the calm, their love resounds.
If you are still this promise I make, you will hear the voice of your loved one helping you along your way.

George. I never had the chance to get to know George on an indepth basis. However, I don't think that would have even been necessary. During the times when our paths would cross, it was always a pleasant occurrance. George was one of the kindest people to me. He always had a smile on his face. I noticed how he had this uncanny ability to be good to everyone. To never be hurtful. George you're a special man who'll be missed by all us who had the priviledge of knowing you. I know you didn't know it at the time but, you set an example or two for me to live by. I'm all the better for it. I'm grateful to have had your presence in my life. You added beauty to my life.

Sorry to hear about George. Unfortunately, we will not be able to attend the service. We lost our two week old grandson last week and he is going to be buried Monday morning.
