Funny you should write something today as I was thinking how lucky I am to have known Georgie too. He left us way to soon!

Glenn there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think "what would George do". He left us all way to soon but the deep impressions he made will live forever. When you want to talk about Georgie call me.

Glenn, You said it so well, we all miss him so much.
Love
Uncle CB

I just stumbled upon this website on a late night of grieving.  My name is Glenn Trovato and I am Georgie's only brother.  It's amazing to me that it's been 21 months since I last spoke to my brother and everyone says it gets easier with time.  I'm wondering how?  I'm still struggling.  On the surface, we (my family) look okay I guess.  "One day at a time, and it is what it is" we all say.  But this is impossable.  I guess this is not the forum to be negative so do you guys wanna hear the real truth about my brother?  He was truly an amazing man and I don't say that because he's gone.  I would have said that when he was alive.  He was the best big brother a guy could have.  He was the best combination of protector and best friend that a guy could have.  He was a man that I respected.  He was a man I admired.  He was a man that I just truly enjoyed.  He was the funniest guy in the world who had an undeniably distinct laugh and smile.  He was someone who was always in my corner and I was always in his.  We were never jealous of one another, ever.  I am not half the man my brother was and that is totally okay with me because nobody is.  If I picked up just a few things from him in my life then I'm sure I'm in good shape.  My older brother, George, was the best man I ever talked to.  The person I trusted the most with a problem.  He was the rock and organizer of my entire family.  He was the leader of his group of friends.  It wasn't a great party if Geoergie Boy wasn't there.  But, the truth is, he was always there.  We say now, "How did he find the time?"  because he was always so available for everyone in his life, be that his wife, his kids, myself and my sister, my parents, his friends, all the nieces and nephews.  I said this to my wife when Georgie passed, that there are just a few people in the world that were born with god given ability.  It's my opinion that people like Tiger Woods were born to play gold with god given talent.  People like Michael Jordan were born with that same ability.  I beleive that Georgie was born with that same talent, it just wasn't sports or acting.  He was born with an innate ability to succeed and figure out life.  He could make an impossable situation possable.  He took the normal stuff that you and I stressed and just crushed it.  School, no problem.  College, he graduated early at 21.  A good marriage, no problem, he married his beautiful high school sweetheart who was his best friend.  Law School, no problem, he graduated St. Johns at the top of his class.  Success, no problem, he gained more and more success each year he had on this earth and his accomplishments tripled in size as he got older.  My brother was one in a trillion.  And I HATE that he's gone.  We will NEVER completely move on.  I had no idea that these last 21 months were gonna be so hard.  It's completely unfair that this had to happen to him.  He loved life more than anyone in the world.  He appreciated so many things.  He loved so many people.  He had so much to give and he was just getting started.  I will NEVER get over this loss.  I will NEVER fully get over this.  I haven't in 21 months.  I won't in the next 21.  I carry a piece of my brother in my heart, my mind and my soul every day and I will forever.  I could speak for another fifty hours about my brother, I really can, but I'm goping to go do what my brother would want me to do and I'm going to have a drink, kiss my kids, go to sleep and live to fight another day for him.  I'm not even sure if I'm doing this correct or even if this is the right forum to be doing something like this but as I go on my daily grief and I was googling his name to slowly torture myself even further, this came up, so I hope what I wrote is okay and I will sum up by just saying I will go on for the rest of what's left of my life honoring the most amazing person I've ever met, my role model, my only brother, my best man, my best friend, George C. Trovato Jr. I miss you SO MUCH.

Time goes by put the pain lingers. Wish I could hear a story or your laugh. Miss you.  Happy holidays in heaven George

My deepest condolences to Jennifer, Gabe, Gavin and the entire Trovato family. George was my friend in college and I was truly saddened to hear such tragic news. I will always remember his smiling face and his kind heart.

 I was shocked and saddened to her the terrible news. I can recall the many times when George spoke of the joy he received from being on the feild with his boys. He was a loving Father and Husband. My deepest condolences to Jennifer. For those who knew him the most, a wonderful way to honor George would be to take what he has given to you, carry it with you forever and put it back out into the world of those who you touch.

George was my friend, pal and lastly, my client. His humorous-grinnish smile, as if he was always up to no good, will always be something I remember and carry with me everyday.  He was an amazing man and someone I admired with his dedication towards everything he did. My deepest condolences to his family and all those who were blessed to have known him.

George was such a special man........and always will be.  He was my attorney for my W.C. case and also we worked together in referring patients/cases and we were colleagues in the Long Island Business networking group. I loved talking and joking/laughing with George.  His great smile, wonderful laugh and personality will be missed.  Truly a tremendous loss for all and of course even more so for his loving family.  My deepest sympathy, condolences and prayers to the entire Trovato family, and to his partners  Andrew Vecere and Joan Arguso.

From the very few meetings I have had as a hearing rep with Mr. Trovato, each experience was a very pleasant and a memorable one.  He was a very reasonable and down to earth person. He will be deeply missed in his Workers Comp field.May his soul rest in peace

My condolences and prayers go out to the Trovato family.  George was a good employer.  He always gave everyone the benefit of the doubt. He was a great mediator and organizer.  He also had the best laugh.  At times I would buzz him on the phone or go in his office and say something funny just to make him laugh.  I loved to hear his hearty laugh.  I am really going to miss him.  SheRah Watkins from Dell,Little, Trovato & Vecere, LLP
