  2. George I love you and miss you so much. Everyday seems like the last. You were so wonderful to me and our children and grandchildren. Emma was the light in this house through these last day, she would go over to the hospital bed and say it’s me pop pop Emma I love you a couple of times a day.

  6. My sincerest and deepest condolences to the entire family! George was one of the kindest men I have had the pleasure of his acquaintance.

  7. George was so special to me. He always accepted me and always included me in family events when I felt like an outsider.

    For that inclusivement, for that compassion, he’s will
    always going to be my hero.

  8. Had occasion to ralk with him as he worked on the ballfield behind Yates Ave. He struck me as a man who cared about Marcus Hook and its residents. A really nice man.

  9. Lauren and family, my sincere condolences on the loss of this great man. I only knew him through the stories shared by Lauren but it was more than evident that he was loved beyond measure. Sending you all strength and peace. xo
