We lived down the road from George in Monroe Center when he moved there. We enjoyed watching his yard transform into the beautiful park it became. George carved a bear for us for our wedding in 1996. We took it from Monroe Center to our next two homes, and still treasure it today. George was so kind and giving of himself. Such a fascinating man. He could never realize how many people he touched with his gifts.

Both my wife and I were saddened to hear of George's passing. We only found out today. There are so many great memories of him. Above all was his beautiful smile and the joy and zest he brought into a sometimes boring day. I was also honored to have had the opportunity to create a portrait of him. It won international honors by the Professional Photographers of America. He & I had much fun in it's creation. So nice to see the image in his memorial. God bless you George as well as his family. He was a real treasure!

Papou is one of the most interesting, talented people I've met in my lifetime from his artist work to his beautiful voice I could listen to all night he was a man of many talents. I promise to take care of your Mea, Papou! Rest in Peace.

Jeanne, our thoughts and prayers to you and family. So sorry for your loss of George. He was a wonderful, kind, and loving man to all that he met along the way. Michael and I will always remember both of you from the Community Church in Monroe Center,IL. A beautiful couple. My parents thought the world of both of you and now George will meet with them once again. May God give you peace, love and strength always. We love you, Jeanne.

I remember meeting George when he had many of his sculptures on display at Mulford Village mall. I also was fortunate enough to visit him at his home where he had all of his beautifully carved religous pieces at his corner spot in the country. He was such a warm and friendly man who truly enjoyed sharing his passion of the arts with anyone who he met. I remember him always wearing a scarf and thinking he was like a movie star from Texas. He was truly larger than life! May his spirit live on forever!

Kanella, Paula, Nick, and Maria --
Your father was a talented artist whose major work other than you four was his Life of Christ/Stations of the Cross at his home on Illinois 72. It seems almost appropriate that he died during Holy Week. God bless you all.

I am deeply saddened by George's passing. I met him in the mid 60's while working at Sungate Construction. He would bring his accordion to our office and sing and dance. He was a wonderful gentleman and always kissed the ladies hands when he came in. He smiled like no other. Condolences to his entier loving family.

Words just can't explain how a person feels at a time like this. Just know he has many friends that loved him, and will be missed, but he's at peace now with other friends and family members, & none of them will be alone. I'm so sorry I can't be there, just know your all thought of every day. Love you all.
