Not sure what to say?

I can’t say George took to me right away. He was nice to me but he spent our first few meetings sizing me up - making sure I was worthy of all that time Tamara and I spent together. Slowly we grew to fond of one another , learned that we shared a love of gardening and each deeply loved Tamara. I’m so happy I got to know the gruff exterior George and loving , caring and fun George. I’ll miss you

I met George when we were in the 8th grade together at Chestnut Street School . We hit it off right away, playing baseball, football, and different school activities. George was a very good athlete. When we reached High School we both had to have motorcycles , which meant after school jobs . We worked together on a couple of jobs , but also became very interested in hunting , ducks, dove and squirrels . We graduated and went in pursuit of our career’s , and to raise our families. We...

Rest easy, cousin.

I met George many years ago and it has been many years since I have seen him. I will always remember him as the gentle, caring man that he was to all who knew him. He was so kind and he just had a vibe where you just knew that everything was gonna be alright. My heart breaks for his family and many friends. He will forever watch over all of those who loved him.

Every softball game we played in just passed before my eyes. What great memories! RIP MY FRIEND!

I am so thankful to have been blessed to get to know to George, even for a short while. He was a wonderful man with a beautiful soul. My love and prayers go out to Tamara and all of his family and many friends. Live life now to the fullest, in his honor.

I was mortified to hear of the passing of your lovely husband, Judah and I truly enjoyed meeting and spending time with him when we came to your home. He was a kind man that will truly be missed! You are in my prayers.

I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and the family.
