Personal condolences to the family members from an old friend of George. We had many enjoyable hours at his restaurant located behind the old Italian Center on South St. In fact I recall as I left one day, the news came over the radio of President John F. Kennedy's assasination -- George and I cried together. I shall always remember that moment with George. Bruno Giordano (then Director of the Italian Center -- now, retired Mayor of Stamford 1967 -1969)
