George was born August 18, 1945 in Brooklyn, NY. He moved out to Babylon with his family in 1959 and graduated Babylon High school in 1964.
George proudly served in the United States Army where he received the National Defense Medal.
George retired from Edward B Stimpson Corp in 2007 and moved to sunny Florida to be with his grandchildren. He spent many a sunny day watching them play in the pool.
George enjoyed the excitement of the casino floor, the smell of the salty air from a cruise ship, the roar of the crowd at a Nascar race or yelling at the tv during a football game. We know in heaven he is watching the Giants win every game they play! Sundays were special for him, he was able to root for his favorite team and enjoy a big family dinner. Pop will be greatly missed by all who love him!
In lieu of flowers the family asks you send donations to Disabled American Veterans.
