George was one of God's gifts to the human race. I remember him as an extremely caring person that always had time to listen. A great sense of humor and a very large heart that he shared willingly. He treated everyone as part of his family or at a minimum, a very close friend and with respect. This world could use a lot more people like George. He will be missed by so many. My heart goes out to his family. Especially Mary, Tommy, Anthony and Rose. They have always treated me like gold and will always have a place in my heart. I am very sorry for your loss. R.I.P. George.
