My heartfelt condolences to Nannette and Mrs. Silva. We met years ago through a college friend of George. You were a beautiful couple and I will always cherish the memories we shared. George had a twinkle in his eye and such a kind, loving heart. I´m so sorry for your loss.

George was my childhood friend. We went fishing together often and one day at Hot Hole I caught the biggest rainbow trout I’ve ever caught. spent lots of time together playing on the hill in his yard. Learned to ride bikes and collect coins. Going to miss you George. God bless you.

I was George's classmate at Bishop Brady High School. I came to Brady as a Junior after spending my first two years of high school at LaSalette Seminary in Enfield. George was one of the first students that I met upon my arrival in September of 1975.
I'll never forget his warmth and kindness, I immediately felt at home. He was such a good, genuine, and caring young man.
George was one of those classmates and friends who you hold in your memory and in your heart for the rest of your life. My life is better for having known him, and for having him as my friend.
Every morning, at 5:30 am, I remember him in my prayers, and I thank God for bringing such a beautiful soul into his world, and into the lives of all of us who were blessed to know him.

Dear Mrs.Silva & Nannette,
I was so deeply saddened to read of George's death in the Concord Monitor online just moments ago.
I was George's classmate at Bishop Brady. It has been many years since our graduation in 1977, but I have never forgotten him. He was always so warm and kind. He had a beautiful spirit, and a loving,giving heart. He will always be a special part of my memories of my Brady years.
My thoughts and my prayers are with you both, and with all of your family at this very sad time.
George will live on in your hearts, and in the hearts of all who were blessed to know him.
