So saddened to hear about George passing. I met George at his former physician's office where I worked as a nurse. He was always so full of life, constantly in motion, letting me know about pot pie and pastie sales at the church. He will be in my prayers, he will be missed.

We are very saddened to read of your loss. We met George when he coached Bishop O´Reilly girls basketball , our daughter played on the team. A devoted coach who did an excellent job. The past two years we have seen him taking videos and pix at Candys Place walks. A very kind hearted, social man who left his mark. May you find comfort and peace from God, family and friends.

Mr Barilla was my basketball coach all through high school. He was a wonderful mentor and spent many hours helping me improve . During those practice sessions he taught me to believe in myself and many valuable life lessons that I will never forget . He was always positive and saw the good in everyone . May he rest in peace .
