George R. Segale, of Sparta, New Jersey, blessed this world with his presence and wide-eyed smile for 65 glorious years and left this earth too soon on April 24, 2014, with his ever-loving family with him. George was born in Newark, New Jersey and made Sparta his home for 34 memorable years. He was a member of Our Lady of the Lake Church in Sparta, New Jersey, a proud Colonel of the Honorable Order of the Kentucky Colonels, and a humbly ordained minister.

Segale and his wife Lana and Melissa Andres and her husband Anthony; loving grandchildren: Madison Segale, Kamryn Andres, Nicole Segale, and Cooper George Andres. There are also two blessed grandchildren on the way: Baby Girl Andres and Joseph George Segale.

George was one of my best friends at Barringer High School where we graduated from in 1966. We all stayed together for many years after through many good times and a few bad times. The memories I have about George are too many to list. He was a good friend but like so many other things in life we drifted apart for a few years only to reconnect a few years back and started to relive the "old days". He loved his kids and grand-kids and I can't start to say how much I will miss him.

I met George in 1966 when I was a teenager through my brother Harry who also attended Edward Williams and we became very close friends. He gave me a gold heart bracelet one day which was engraved on the back with the words "To Carol-Ann, Ti Amo, George". I still have that bracelet today. So to you, George, I say Ti Amo - I love you and I'll miss you more than words can say. Rest in peace.
