Not sure what to say?

One day at SRA the entire school went to St. Joseph's for a Mass. It was freezing inside and outside the Church, and we couldn't wait to get back to school for some coffee and donuts. George didn't have to go, because he was
Greek Orthodox. We rushed into the cafeteria, and took a swallow of George's coffee. ZAP! It was made with salt, a lot of it! George explained that that was the Greek custom.

It was a long time before anyone spoke to George.

John,
Sorry for your loss, may your Father Rest in Peace, & I pray for your families healing in these difficult times.

My sincere condolences to the Elkas family over the loss of George. He was a true friend and a high school classmate at SRA.

Pam and family, I am so sorry for your loss. George was a lifetime friend of ours. Sending comfort and prayers, Dottie Walker and family

John, I'm very sorry to hear of the passing of your father. Your in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you and your family peace and comfort.

Poppy,

I'll miss our talks about the glory days in football. I'll miss your "Poppy's Grandkids" shirts. I'll miss our car rides and phone calls. But most of all, I'll miss you.

I'm so thankful that I had the opportunity to tell you how much you meant to me before you passed. I'm also thankful for Nana and the rest of the family that was there to comfort you.

I love you so much.

Your favorite oldest grandson,


Ryan

Pam, Joe and I send our love and prayers for you and your family at this time of sorrow. It was a fortune Tiara entered into such a beautiful family, for this we met George and yourself. He was such a comedian at the functions he attended, and loved telling his stories that we will all miss, but I'm sure he has them rolling in the heavens! God bless. The DosReis family.

Pam, I'm so sorry for your loss. I am so grateful I was given the opportunity to get to know Poppy and make memories with him that will last a lifetime. He was nothing but sweet and thoughtful to me. I think he was one of the funniest people I knew and always put a smile on my face. I'm going to miss our phone calls where he would just sit in and listen on the other line just to hear Ryan's and my voice! You have been such a strong woman through this all but just know Ryan and I are here for...

I'll miss you Poppy. Today was the first day I went to your house, and you weren't there. It'll take some time to get used to. But every time I go over and help Nana, I'll think of you too. We spent a lot of time together, just the two us throughout high school and college. I really cherish that time. So proud to call you my grandfather.

Your loving grandson,
David
