We were deeply saddened by the news. George was a great man to all of us growing up on 212th street. My dad and I used to get our hair cut by George on the patio in our back yard. I used to always get a boys short cut. When i was a teen I wanted my hair longer and George talked my mom into letting me keep it a little longer. Love you George. All our Love to the Duarte Family.
