God bless you Joann and your family, George was one of my best customers back in the day when I use to cut hair in the barber shop on Albany Ave. I still think on George often along how fast life goes by.

George and Joann have always been great as friends to me especially when I was cutting hair back in the day on Albany Ave. George would always offer me advise and both Joann and George were very supportive to me when I was working as a barber. GOD bless you Joann and your sons in this time of loss of such a wonderful person that George was. I will miss the great conversation we always had when we ran into each other.
