I will always remember Georges kind words, and positive attitude. What a blessing it was to have met him and his family.
Katrina

Our prayers go out to the Chema family. We were saddened to hear of George's passing. My wife and I and our dog Freckles met George several years ago while walking in the sub. George was always friendly and Freckles always went on the porch to be petted by George. We had several talks about the north end of Flint

My sympathy to the entire Chema Family...We had been neighbors for over 40 years..There are not enough good words to describe George..for sure..a very kind person...always with a smile and a good word. Peace to Patty and the rest of the family!

We are saddened to hear of George's passing. He always had a good word for everybody.He certainly loved his Patti and was extremely proud of his family and their accomplishments. His great smile and twinkling eyes will be missed. May George's memory be eternal.Our heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you family

With love,
Dr. Debra Chinonis and Staff
