It was a delight to know George during his final years. I never saw him angry or upset -- although I imagine I gave him reason from time to time.

RIP to a man with a big heart, my godfather. If a friend needed anything he was only a call away. He said if he wasn't married by the age of 40, then he wouldn't ever get married. He never had kids (just me) and lived with his siblings Marie and Franklin in the home they grew up in where he acted as head of the house. George enjoyed watching and attending football (Eagles, Penn State, and Michigan) and baseball (Phillies) games. As a family they took many vacations and made lots of good memories. As a child he would pick me up and we would go out to eat, shop for school supplies, take me to his work at Wengers bakery and Lentz Mills. Then as he aged I picked him up and we would go eat and shop (my treat). He always told me he was thankful for me but really I was thankful for him and all that he did for me. He showed me how to be a blessing to others.
