George (Sarge),
It's taken a few days for me to find the words to write here. And each day I keep thinking of your smile, your infectious laughter, your kind heart. You were one of a kind. A true hero, gentlemen and honest person. I do hope you see all the messages of love that have been sent your way. The prayers for your peaceful rest. Thank you for being a part of my life and the memories that I hold dear. Until we meet again, fly high sweet friend.

George, we were just becoming good buddies and then you got the career opportunity to relocate to Nebraska.
I will never forget our many , daily conversations we had during breaks. I will certainly not forget the handful of hangouts we fit in before you left. You will be dearly missed by me and Daniele. Miss you Brother!
My sincerest condolences to the entire family.

I was George's supervisor for a year-and-a-half. He had the most magnetic personality I have ever been aroundeveryone who met him liked him. He made me laugh like no one else. George had a great physical strength, and an incomparable work ethic. George's passing is a shock, and I will greatly miss him. I hope he is now at peace.

George, I will always be thankful that I had the opportunity to get to know you in this life and to call you a friend. Both Kathy & I are deeply saddened by your passing, I will always be thankful that we had that short time together & we will never forget that guy who made us laugh, cooked us dinner and shared those stories out on the deck in the evenings at our home in Evans. Rest in Peace my friend I hope you're in a better place and at peace now. You are definitely one of the few friends I would like to see again on the other side. We'll miss you like crazy. Until then, Ken & Kathy

My condolences to George's family, his wife, children and friends. Although I haven't seen George in a while he was always very nice to me, crazy and larger than life he was fiercely protective and loyal to his circle as they were for him. A true friend! As crazy as he was he was loved my most! I know there will be lots of shots in his honor! A few years back I tried to get him to the army navy game as I had 2 extra tickets for him and Liam, because he said he always wanted to take him, but he had already left for NE... we said maybe next year?! I'm sorry that day never came. George, I hope you are at peace. Rest easy! My prayers are for all those left behind, that they find the strength to get through this difficult time. RIP
