It was an honor and a pleasure to know George. He made us laugh a lot. He was a good friend and neighbor. Jamie and Gerry Cerrato
Whenever I was little, Uncle George came to visit and brought me one of my most treasured possessions from my childhood: a Tigger themed bicycle, training wheels and all. He helped me put it together and watched as I rode around on my Grandpa’s sidewalk. Uncle George would tousel my cousin’s hair and I got so jealous that he wouldn’t do the same for me because I was a girl, so he stood by the sidewalk and talked to my gram and pap, and when I would ride by on my new bike he tousled my hair too. It’s one of my fondest memories, and my pap (Tom) still has that little bike in the garage. It’s something I will never forget
Uncle George I will never forget your feisty spirit I will love you forever until we meet again I am glad you are no longer in horrible pain
We are so sorry to hear the news of George’s passing. My husband and I graduated with George and our class of 1967 from the Clarion-Limestone High School. He was always a likable guy and very charismatic. Our condolences to his family and friends.
His little cabin by the pond, and a wax hand he had on the mantel. I’m glad I grew up around such a good man.
