I just found out about George´s passing. I´m sorry it´s been six years but my fault many years longer that I failed to be in touch. He was always smarter,and kinder of a person that I should of stayed in touch with. I truly loved him he was my best man and a true friend that I failed to stay in touch with. I miss those Sunday football games, those Monday night games ,and walking down 5th ave with him singing sherry by the four seasons. There will be a tear in my eyes every time I hear that song. I´ll also never forget helping his dad redo his hardware store. Im sorry George I wasn´t there for you like you were there for me. I love you and you would make everyone around you better no matter where you are. John and gyongyi Kocak

My deepest condolences to Susan, Lucas, Mrs. "A", Charles, Paul, Aunt Bebe & Family.
Although my wife and I now live in Virginia, I happened to see George in "the diner" approx. 8 months ago. We reminisced. As a former "family member" who probably spent more time breaking bread with the Abraham's than my own family growing up, I feel your pain and cry with you. Thank you again Mrs. "A."
Love and Peace to all,
