My deepest sympathy to everyone who loved George, and mostly to his family. George made everyone who knew him smile, and forevermore when I hear "When Irish Eyes Are Smiling" I will think of George.

To my Uncle George...may the light from this candle shine down onto your family/our family and forever remind us all of our time together. I will always carry fond childhood memories with me of my favorite uncle. I love you and will miss you dearly.

George always asked us how our kids were doing. Special attention was always given to the, " toe-head (Mike)". George would laugh because Mike followed him around for weeks while he helped with the building of our home. George was so patient with all the questions of a curious 5 year old. I will never forget his kindness.
We will think of George fondly and always smile. Chappie was one of the good guys!
