Bobby and Debbie and family
It was a strange last night while I was sleeping, I had a visitor George Sr. It has been since 1996 since I have heard from or seen him. And when I woke up after spending my early morning dreaming and speaking with George, He was a good man and a very understanding Soul. And the message was that he did not get a chance to really tell you Bobby and Debbie how proud he was, and to thank you and that he was greatful for sharing a life with such a wonderful family. And It was my Honor to know such a man, a father, PS Your mother sends her love also.
Bob,

I hope you you find peace with in your heart.
Love James Drake Carter

My Uncle George was a good man who taught me much about life and fixing automobiles. Although I haven't seen much of him since I moved away 11 years ago, I still have fond memories of him and I know that his family misses him very much.

George, Marcia and Family,

I am so sorry to hear of Mr. Paluga's passing. He was a fine man who loved his family dearly. May you have comfort in knowing that he is now in Heaven, with his dear wife, in God's loving care.

May the fond memories of all the happy times of a man's life well lived give you strength in the future.

Love always.

Well done good and faithful servant! What a loving and caring legacy you have left your family and friends! We were blessed to have been your neighbors on Macy Street in the southend. My mother always knew that she could count on you and your family for needed assistance. Knowing that was a ccomfort to her. Thank you for helping me to bury both my parents! Eternal Rest grant unto him. O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him! God bless you, George!

He was my uncle. A kind, generous man whom I loved and will miss very much. He did so much for so many years for so many people here in West Palm Beach. Our deepest condolences to his entire family.
