I didnt know Uncle George very well but if he was anything like my grandma Rita I know he will be missed more then words could even explain to anyone..Grandma Rita was the angel that came to get Uncle George and take him home for the family celebration.

George reminded me alot of my father, always walking, gardening, and showing everbody the big heart the man was carrying. Most of all, the time he took to show our little girl his kindness with talk and little gifts. He will be a neighbour and friend that will truly be missed.
Our hearts go out to you Chris & Kim, and to Chris, keep up that yard & garden, 'cause your dad would be so proud of you.

George was such a great neighbor. He loved to be outside and his garden. He gave away everything he ever grew. We will miss his cheerful greetings over the back fence.

I Love the memory I have of Uncle George and my mom, Anne, when we got together at Ruthie Baleka's house for that little 'get-together'. The two of them were funny to see interacting. All of the 'kids' are together again with their mom and dad. What a joyous time they must be having with each other and Our Holy Father.
