I adored my Uncle George. We all did. Visiting him at Friendship was the high point of my trips home. He really brought love and fun wherever he went and he was darn good looking. Miss him always. Sara

I will never forget Uncle George singing Perry Como's song, "More" at Carl and my wedding. Nor will I ever forget the fun we had stopping at Beck's Charter Oaks on a Saturday night and listening to his wonderful voice. He was a good friend to me over the past 47 years - Thank you, Uncle George! God speed you to all eternity with Our Blessed Lord.

We first met George in the early 1960's when we sang with "The Tom Fallon Singers" He was always fun to be with and his voice was heaven sent. To Peggy and all those who mourn this great man we extend our condolences. May this good friend rest in peace in the arms of his beloved Lord.

Uncle George...what a class act! I remember all of those July 4th picnics at my parents home that would end with Uncle George leading a sing-a-long. Who could forget his jokes! I am honored to have shared a cigar or two with him over the years and will never forget his smile. Love you Uncle George!

Uncle George always made me smile. I can still hear him singing to me "K-K-K-Katie..." I'm happy to have known him.

What an amazing presence and inspiration in our lives. We will miss all of the songs and humor. As our son Chris said, "Our lives are a little less melodic!". An all around great guy and friend. Sara and Pat Nash

The soundtrack of my memories of childhood family gatherings is of Uncle George and his amazing voice. Good times and great memories.
