Dear George, 
I write this message with a smile on my face as I remember the constant big smile you had on your face, every time we interacted. 
I consider myself one of many lucky people that had the chance to get to know you. 
I am forever grateful to have shared one of the most important days of my life with you. 
Thank you for being you, a kind man with a heart that could embrace the whole world. 

Dear Chica George, 

One thing I love about my grandpa is that he’s always ready for a new adventure. Taking long walks by the river, taking a swim at cultus lake,  hiking up at bridal falls, or even just trying the newest Starbucks drink, you name it chica George will do it with you. We created so many great memories filled with fun, laughter, joy, something you can never replace . Every time I seat at the kitchen I remember our steak competitions and our late cooking of corn, chicken, and stew BBQs. Chica George was always the most honest no matter what, if your cooking was too salty he would tell you your cooking was too salty without a doubt, so you could always count on him to tell you the brutal truth which is something to appreciate. Although, you could always count on him to be honest,  and keep a secrets. He was the most loyal person I knew.  He would never ever tell our secrets. I know that as a fellow 12 year old I’ve trusted Chica George with a lot of my secrets. You know the classics, friendship drama, school chaos, sibling angers , but never has Chica George told a soul. He would give me advice to try and help and then not tell anyone.  Whether it was in the morning drinking his daily coffee, at evening watching yet another tenis or football game, many times he would just play the music and be happy, His genuinely pure smile could always make you smile, he would do anything to make you feel good. Taking me to Starbucks or to talking to Noah about the latest video game, playing barbies with Adriana, or watching cooking videos with my mom and Nana. He didn’t mind as long as he was with us. He was a very caring person. My dad loved him so much and I know he misses him alot. We miss and love you so much and in our hearts you’ll stay forever. You will never be forgotten ❤ Love you RIP

Dear George, 

I had the best time with you as you were my grampa. We had many amazing adventures that I will never be able to forget. Going on our daily coffee runs, long walks by the river, cooking together, and being each other’s company. Looking at the kitchen I will never forget the great times we had just revolving the kitchen. Every meal I cooked you enjoyed my food which always made me feel good. I loved to cook for you because a new reaction was always waiting for me and I know you would be able to give me good advice. I know you would always be able to make me laugh because you were always a positive, happy soul. Your presence makes all of us feel complete inside. We had so many fun times including our pedicure trips and lunches at the park. Nothing can beat our long conversations by the river. George was a wise man and had many stories to share and I enjoyed each and every one of them. We are so grateful we had the opportunity to  relate these memories with an amazing man that may Rest In Peace. I will always love and miss my Cika George. Never forgotten and always in our hearts.  

Well,  I do have some memories of times we had a good laugh over the ridiculous things we as fallible human beings do.
My condolences to mine and his daughter Linda and to his daughter Lily and son Steve.  Deep condolences to the  Shabani family and many thanks to them for them being so kind to him and to Linda. may he rest in Peace.  So sorry I no longer have photos oh him and Linda.

There is a saying , friends are the family we choose...
Georgie ! It took me a minute to run into you , it took me some time to appreciate , respect and love you, but it will take me my entire lifetime to forget you. You were my family . As long as I live,  you will live and will be remembered . I am so thankful for for all of the memories we created , walking the rest of the path of friendship alone is heartbreaking . Your death is a great loss for everyone that knew you.
May God bless you , Rest in peace .

You were the best grandpa ever and I will forever be thankful for all of the memories and laughs we shared. I am so happy that I got to spend my special day with you there, I will never forget it. I think about you every day and would do anything to see you at your spot at the dinner table. It hurts to not see you dancing/singing at events, or even not being able to see your bright smile, but I know you are much happier in heaven.  I miss you and love you so much, and I always will. 

You were the best grandpa. Whenever you were around, which was for every dinner, every birthday, every Christmas, New Years and all the other celebrations it was never a dull moment. You lit up every single room you walked into. I am so thankful for all of the memories we created and all the love we shared. I miss your hugs, laughs, dances and stories. There is an emptiness with you gone, but you will never be forgotten. That’s simply not possible. I love you with my whole heart, I miss you so much.
