Here are some special memories shared by family and friends.
I remember George and MaryJane used to live in the building where my parents lived. My mother and father are god-parents to their son Brian. During those years we interacted as though they were family. George was a happy go lucky guy with a great personality. He loved life and made everyone laugh..Over the years George, MaryJane and the boys lost touch with us but I always remember them fondly. I am so sorry to hear of his passing and offer my condolences to MaryJane and their sons. God Bless You. Maria (daughter of Millie and Lefty)
