Stlla and family. I was surprised and saddened to hear of George's passing. As you know, Stella, I enjoyed our phone calls several times every year. An hour on the phone was always good conversation and most of the time I got to chat with you as well. I will keep in touch because I'll always want to know how you are.

Stella, Lisa, Chrissy, Zinna,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many fond memories of George. I became a Yankees fan because of him and remember watching many games together. I hope George, Walt, Bob and Bill are sharing a beer together.

ChoChi Stella, Lisa, Chrissy and Zinna,
The tide recedes but leaves behind
bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle
warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes
on in sweet refrains..
For every joy that passes,
something beautiful remains.
I am so sorry to hear about the unexpected passing of Uncle George. He was a wonderful individual who will be greatly missed.
We will miss our weekend sleepovers and lunches at Mommy and Daddy's.
When you speak of Uncle George, speak not with tears, for thoughts of him should not be sad. Let memories of the times you shared give you comfort, for his life was rich because of you.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
We love you.

Dear Stella and girls,
I'm so sorry to hear of George's passing. I have such fond memories of him and Stella as they were our first friendly neighbors in Harleysville. We enjoyed many evenings of playing cards and talking while George tinkered in his yard. George and Stella were wonderful friends and the best parental role models as we lived away from family. My heart and prayers to you all during this sad time.

ChoChi Stella, Lisa, Chrissy, and Zinna, I am so sorry about Uncle George. He was a great man and will be missed. I have so many awesome memories of him, and my the times I spent with him at his softball games and keeping the Stats, for his team, and going to his favorite buffet, Ryan's, which none of us could never understand, but he LOVED it! Just like he loved all of you. He will never be forgotten, for he will also hold a special place in my heart. Thinking of all of you and sending a huge hug from a far.
