the list goes on and on because that’s the man Uncle George was! Caring for everyone….such fond memories of being a kid and coming up there for cook outs and well whatever reason, watching phillies with poppop wandering in kitchen and seeing big pot of chili boiling on stove and wandering out back to garage and listening to Uncle George and well names escape me around a classic car just being “men” Even though we don’t see each other anymore…I love all of you so much and the memories I will never lose

Love Brian, Christie, Mark and our Mom Diane

Thinking about you all and keeping you in pray during this difficult time!
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.
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
