A true man of God and a true reflection of Jesus. Miss you brother.

Dear Vitetta family. I met George at the Capital City Rescue Mission. I am a volunteer in their building program. George helped us with some of the projects. When he wasn't doing our masonary work I would see him in the cafeteria on breaks. George was a teacher at the mission also. He knew everyone and we all loved him. George would go from table to table asking us how we are doing and being genuinely concerned about us. I wish that I had a chance to sit in on his classes. He really connected with the students.

Dear Cathy - I can't tell you how shocking this news was to me and so saddened. There are always the very fond and warm memories of getting to know both of you in Jerusalem. George most definitely has left a loving impression for me.

My Pastor, my brother, my friend. There is now an emptiness here on earth. You had touched so many. Showing so much love. Christ love flowed from you. You made living here such a better place. Till we see each other again my friend.

Our deepest sympathies to Kathy and the Vitetta family. George was a man set apart to live for God and will surely be missed. He had a heart´s compassion for people and was an inspiration and encouragement to so many, including our family - well done, good and faithful servant!
