George Familant

Left behind with beautiful memories of their 64 years of marriage is his loving wife, Phyllis (Pullman).

Cherished father of Lyn Familant, Valerie and Abbey Doneger, and Jean and Jim Bourdon. Beloved Papa George of Adam, Jason and Amanda and Michael Doneger, Alexander Familant and Sally and Jack Bourdon. Also survived by his sister Frances Silverstein.

George was a forerunner in the paper and scrap metal recycling industry, an avid skier, golfer and tennis player and a master craftsman with bird houses being his signature piece. And there was absolutely nothing he couldn’t fix. Above all, he loved nothing more than being with his family. We will miss him very much.

Services will be held at Stanetsky Memorial Chapels, 475 Washington Street, Canton, MA on Sunday, November 10th at 12:00 Noon with burial to follow at Sharon Memorial Park.

Shiva will be observed at his home on Sunday following the services, and Monday from 1:00 PM onward.

In lieu of flowers, donations in George’s name may be made to the charity of your choice.

WE REMEMBER HIM

At the rising of the sun and at its going down,

we remember him.

At the blowing of the wind and the chill of winter,

we remember him.

At the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring,

we remember him.

At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer,

we remember him.

At the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn,

we remember him.

At the beginning of the year and when it ends,

we remember him.

As long as we live, he too will live; for he is now a part of us,

as we remember him.

When we are weary and in need of strength,

we remember him.

When we are lost and sick at heart,

we remember him.

When we have joy we crave to share,

we remember him.

When we have decisions that are difficult to make,

we remember him.

When we have achievements that are based on his,

we remember him.

As long as we live, he too will live; for he is now a part of us.
