George has been a machinist for the past 22 years for Keolis Commuter Service in Boston where he made many close friends. A special thank you from George's family to Paul and Keith for of their support, and comfort during this difficult time.

To all of George's family

I just found out about his passing. I am so sorry for your loss, he was a great guy who loved his family and friends and had an incredible sense of humor, always had a quick comeback and made me laugh. He was taken from the family and friends that loved and cared for him way to soon, he was so looking forward to his retirement and the birth of his first grandchild. George may not believe ..but God must have needed a big Angel. May he rest in peace , and in time his family and friends find peace and comfort'
