Dear Jack, Carol, Mark, Patty, Paul, Keith and Joyce: I was so sorry to hear that George has passed away. I will always remember all the good times we all had at the lake and the poker games on holidays. I am sorry I will not be able to attend the services, but my Mom is not doing well and can not be left along. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May George rest in peace. God Bless all of you.

To All The Olexovitch Family, We are thinking of all of you on the passing of George. We were glad we got to see him last month down here. He was the nicest person anyone would like to know. From the time Joe met him at Rugers and golfing with him and my growing up with him he has been a wonderful friend. He will be greatly missed.

To Mark, Jack Sr, Jack Jr and the entire Olexovitch family. I was deeply saddened last night to get the phone call that my longtime friend has passed. I've known George for 50 years but the friendship between our families goes back almost 70 yrs, when Barney & my dad battled in the RED course skin's games. Golf is the game which gave to me a wonderful relationship with the Olexovitch family, that has spanned 3 generations. George had a kind of unique LOVE/HATE way of playing golf, depending on how he played and how many shafts he broke, but I do know how much he loved Fairchild Wheeler.
George, you will be missed by all the guys back in Brigeport, and the all the guys who used to call "The Wheel" their home.
