George M. Pratl

My old and best friend that I will never forget. I think of him often. We went thru life in our early adolescent years with ups and downs. I think I know George and his family more than anyone else. His mom made us many meals on Aberdeen St in the old days. George would play the snare drum and me on the accordion and make everyone happy. We went to school together at Divine Heart Seminary in Donaldson, Indiana. We were the best of friends in Chicago in the late 50's and early 60's. We had...

George was a friend of our family especially my brother Ed. They played in a band together and together they had a lot of fun (sometimes too much fun). We first lived on Aberdeen St and that is where my family first met the Pratl's. He was a funny guy who was easy going and a pleasure to be around.

We are Thinking and Praying for all of you. You know we will be here for whatever you need. So many Memories of Uncle George.. He will forever live in our hearts!

May your memories of the wonderful times you shared with your loved one comfort you and your family, today and always.

Dear Pratl's,

Although our families have only met in the past several years, I feel as though we have known each other our whole lives. George was a wonderful man and a great Dad. I made salsa for him one year and he loved it and never let me forget it. He will be missed. All my love, Nancy

Thank you to everyone for your kind words and your prayers. It brings us much comfort to share memories of my dad. My dad also held close in his heart St. John Berchmans Parish and school. In lieu of flowers donations may also be made to them (2517 west Logan blvd. Chicago 60647). Once again, my family and I thank you for all of your love and support during this very difficult time.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
