George was a very good friend to Louis P. DeSantis when they were on the Revere Fire Department together. There were a lot of laughs, stories, and even some arguments over different topics!!! So very sorry to hear about George's untimely death. May he rest in peace. George and Louis are reunited again.

"No one's death comes to pass without making some impression, and those close to the deceased inherit part of the liberated soul and become richer in their humaneness." - The Bible



My uncle Dutch has made a great impression me, and I will always feel his presence because of what I have learned and observed from him.



May all friends and family of George inherit, remember and practice the happiness and wisdom to which he has provided us.
