i loved this man . He was funny and smart and always the best of company . A mans man who loved his family and whose absence makes the world a lesser place . We spent most of our time busting each others chops and I regret I will never get even. God bless Kathy and the girls and the May family .

Psalm 90:10 says that the days of our years are 70 years, And if because of special mightiness they are 80 years. May the memories of the wonderful times you shared together bring a smile and joy in your heart.

I was very sad to hear this sad news. George was an energetic and funny guy Who I first meet on a high school football field when he was playing for John Carroll. We had been off and on friends since then. He was a hard guy not to like. My thoughts and my Prayers are with his wife and his fine family.

Dearest Kathy, Maggie and Kathleen,
Know that you have my deepest sympathy for this terrible loss. Your Husband and Father was such a JOY TO BE WITH AND" LIT UP THE ROOM" WHENEVER HE WALKED IN. He will be sorely missed by all who knew him. He certainly was a loving man with his family. It truly has been breaking my heart I can't be there with you. I wanted so badly to be there but I will be there with You and George in spirit. We do know he is in a "better place" and in peace with GOD.
Much love and May you receive God's love and strength,
MaryLou
