George was a caring person who helped people when he could.  He enjoyed having coffee and reading the paper with his brother Nick.  George loved spending time with his grandchildren and teaching them life lessons.  Not only did he spoil them with love and affection but also with the finer things in life.  He taught them that if you work hard, you can play hard.
