George was always at Ccs coffee house chatting with his friends and always willing to listen to us stressed out students. He always listened and never tried to minimize my stress or worries. I sure do miss him. May his family and loved ones find comfort in his memories.God bless.

Dear family,

I was just about to write a Christmas card to George and wanted to make sure that I still had the correct address. Then I called his phone and it was disconnected. When I looked up the address online. That's when I realized that he had passed on. I am so so sorry for your loss. Mr. George, as I called him, was like the CC's coffee house. Dad. He was always there to talk to unto. Listen to us. Him and I would chat with others. And we were all like a little family there. I have moved away and live and Kansas. Now. I saw George several years ago. And I believe a male him. A picture of us at CC's coffee house. I also remember his wife calling me. Thank me for the Christmas card. Georfe was a good good man and I am so sorry for your loss. God bless.

George was an icon at CC'S on Metairie Rd. A welcome friend to so many "regulars" at CC's.
