He was a wonderful man ,my mother Eva thought the world of him and Pat , I am sure he will be missed by all
I’d like to express my sincere sympathy and condolences to George’s family. He was a good friend of mine and I’ll be forever grateful to have known him and Pat. He had such a kind soul. He loved all of his family very much. He loved talking about his kids, grandkids and the great grandkids. His love for everyone was apparent. He always beamed as he talked about you guys .
I will miss our visits. I’ll miss his company and joking with him and listening to his words of faith. As sad as I am that he’s gone, I take comfort knowing that he’s with the Lord, alongside his beloved Pat, and that we will meet again.
Sending prayers and love,
Amy
It is with sadness to here that my cousin has passed. We spent much time together when we were young. Our families were really close. George and are close to the same age and had many similar interests. He will certainly be missed. Cousin bill brennan
Childhood friends. We played many games of darts as teenagers where his Dad kept score. We played golf at the Belmont Golf Club with his brother Hank. He was always a happy guy. Never change in all the years I knew him. A true friend. He’s now with the love of his life Pat!
