Fr George was very special to us. We did not know about his passing until today. He visited us on numerous occasions at our wilderness lodge in Alaska. The entire staff looked forward to his visits. We will miss him very much.

Father George served the parish of St. Louis de Montfort. He brought CYO sports to our kids giving them great opportunities to come together as a community. Rest in Peace.

George was my classmate and good friend at Regis High School, NYC. He always had a great smile and words of encouragement for me in that very tough academic environment. Be thou at peace George...Deo et Patriae...Colonel (ret) Ed Jentz US Army
