It seems like just yesterday you were still here. Dearest Uncle, I won´t forget you. Thank you for always being there for me when I was little and for being a part of my whole life. You remain part of my heart.

We offer our condolences to all the family on the great loss of Uncle George. We remember his soft-spoken demeanor and love of animals. He was an extraordinary, loving human being and we are grateful to have known him and his generous nature and love to his family and his sister, Marion, her husband, Siegfried, and Paula, Stella, Victor, Rita (and their family, also.) Fly FREE, Uncle George. Heaven sure is lucky now. We will miss you, forever, for you´ve become an angel.

My uncle was a very compassionate man and totally authentic person. He was my father-figure while growing up, since I lost my own father so young. When I was seven, he scolded me for killing a spider, that´s how huge his heart was! He loved animals and, in his older age, volunteered at the Leader Dogs for the Blind and took abandoned dogs for walks at the Humane Society. I´ll always remember his great kindness and huge generosity to all. He was one of a kind. Rest In Peace, "Uncle George," I´ll love you forever! I really miss you but hope my mother and you are together somewhere, shining like the bright stars!

George was the kindest man. I thought he was so tall and strong. He loved playing with us kids. I´m so glad I got to know him. Plus he drove a pretty cool car.

I´ll never forget you, my dear uncle. When I was a child, you were more like a father to me. I remember how very excited I was when you helped me fly my first kite! It felt like magic. I was always so happy to see and be with you. You taught me kindness and wouldn´t even let me step on a spider when I was seven! You were gentle, compassionate, and one of the most authentic men I´ve ever known! I love you. Your beautiful memory shines on, I will always miss you.
