Dear Cathy and John,
Please accept me deepest sympathy on the loss of your dad. He was such a wonderful man -- Mr. Brookline! He ministered to so many people in their hour of need. He is now with the angels and Saints. You are in my prayers.

My love and prayers to the entire O'Dea Family.
My mom was secretary at St. Aidan's Church for 20+ years and she had great respect for George. He helped her many many times in arranging funerals for the parishioners. He was so kind when my dad died and John was so helpful and equally as kind to me when my mom died and made me feel like family. Blessings.

My condolences to all the O'Deas. Although I only recently met George,he became one of my favorite lunch partners at the Chestnut Hill Restaurant.
I would see him there often but did not really know him except that everyone else did and called him George. Then one day I was seated next to him and he said-I know who you are-you are Sawyer's dad. And sure enough his grandson was one of my son's earliest best friends.
I could tell early on that he was a KIND and WISE man and part of a bedrock of good Brookline people. I am sad that he won't be at lunch today but will always remember him.
RIP George- we all miss you!

So very sorry for the loss of such a great gentleman. He has helped me through many losses, most recently, my husband. His care and compassion is unmatched. A great loss to the town of Brookline and the funeral home community. George, RIP, you helped so many in their time of need and grief.
