    I am sincerely saddened by the loss of George. He was an amazing man. He constantly thought of others before himself. George had the biggest heart and loved helping people regardless of his situation. Not only was he a great friend, but he was genuinely nice, considerate, compassionate, trustworthy, and kind. He always had a smile and asked how you were doing, but had genuine concerns about you. I will miss you, my dear friend…😔

    We were so sad to hear of the of the loss of our friend George. He was a wonderful guy, he had a great spirit about him. We loved it when he came to our karaoke shows …..he really sang his heart out and we always had a great time with him. George had such a fun silliness about him that made us smile and laugh …. we will miss that on karaoke night. George will truly be missed. Our thoughts and prayers will be with your family.

    I will sing a song for you friend, since I can’t sing one with you. And… I am still not accepting your pointers on marriage financial planning, but I appreciate the thought. Lol. You are already missed.

    The one person’s comment summed up George perfectly: “genuinely nice, considerate, compassionate, trustworthy, and kind with genuine concerns about you”. I could not have said it better. I will surely miss George’s friendship, passion for singing and quick-witted comments.
