He is also survived by his sister Mary, his brother Steve and wife Helena, his brother Dave and wife Trish, as well as a myriad of nieces and nephews. He is predeceased by his sister Christine and brother-in-law George.

At 6’6” George was usually the tallest person in the room. In his opinion he was also the smartest person in the room but being a member of Mensa didn’t automatically make that so.

Despite being a linear thinker he wasn’t good friends with computers and after 20 years his cell phone was still a mystery to him.

But ah! When it came to music… For years he had a little side gig as a party DJ and boy could he keep the dance floor crowded. Need to know who recorded a song? Ask George. He could even tell you where it charted on the Billboard Top 100.

George was a quiet man, a private man, not given to displays of emotions. But they were there – deeply there.

George’ favorite artist was Leonard Cohen, his favorite song, “Bird on the Wire”. As the song says, “Like a bird on the wire, Like a drunk in a midnight choir, I have tried in my way to be free.”

And now he is.
