He spoke fondly, and, often of the handful of close friends he made during these times as a young man.
He soon married, and, had a son; moving back to Essex County to begin his career as a jeweler. Learning under the apprenticeship of his father, he founded, George Remolina Designs, Inc.; finding the love of his life, Maria "MJ" Remolina shortly thereafter.
