Terry Maglisco here we were neighbors and friends on Orchard Avenue in New Kensington Pennsylvania. I´ll never forget George walking with me in front of Carol Sopko`s house on North Street when he surprised me by stealing a kiss from me. It was my first kiss, even though it was just on my cheek, but I´ll never forget him and that first kiss. It was a surprise and a sure way of showing that he liked me. He will always be remembered and have a place in my heart. I must put a good word in for his mother because she brought her family up to be Christians and righteous folk. Good going Mrs. Fraser! I´m in hopes of seeing all my childhood playmates again someday.
I will always remember my old friends and the good times and memories growing up. My best to all the friends from Orchard Avenue and our neighborhood. Hi Drew.!

I have know George since first grade when we attended St. Joseph's grade school through 8th grade in New Kensington, PA. Also, in high school at Ken High. His family also lived near me and I knew his mother very well, as well his older sister Caroline. Who was married to Richard Rome. If, I recall correctly , he was the Post Master for the New Ken Post Office. younger brother Stuart and Laurie.
I could share many happy and interesting times growing up together in a wonderful neighborhood.
To all George's family I extend my sincerest condolences. My George rest in peace and George I know you will remember all the fun we had as friends and family members. God Bless!
