George was as good  a person as they come. He would literally give you the shirt off  his back. George loved his wife and children. He was proud of all 3 of his children. He loved his beautiful daughters Genelle and Karamarie and proud of all of their accomplishments. Watching his son George playing baseball was one of his biggest joys. He was a die hard Yankee fan. To meet him was to love him with a dynamic personality and a genuine passion for helping people. There was nothing George wouldn’t do for you. There was no request too crazy for George! His strong will and stubborn personality were also part of his charm. In Repose Thursday, May 18, 2017 from 2:00 P.M. to 11:00 P.M. with evening prayer service at Joseph A.
