May you Rest In Peace.
I had just searched for you on the internet George, only to find myself typing this to you, and at the same time I feel such a void in my heart knowing I cannot speak with you in person…at least not now anyway. I left some messages for you over the past several years but could never get in touch…and now THIS!!! I had the privilege to know you and call you my DEAR FRIEND, even for a short time when you were in Sebastian. I will treasure the memory of having competed in your last bodybuilding production in November 2, 1996 and the Jamie Hart Award you presented to me for winning…I felt sad when you were leaving Florida as you stayed at my house a few days before heading to your Mom´s in PA where you would meet your future wife Janey, but not sad like I feel right now. I could go on, but won´t, but I just felt the need to type this to you knowing that you are reading it from Eternity with Father God…I will keep Janey and Georgia Jane in my prayers and look forward to reconnecting with you again in the distant future and when I do, I will be asking you for another ¨Slim Jim!!! Oh yeah Brother!!!¨ I love ya Bro…and I miss you, and of all days to find out about you, being November 1 (All Saints Day in the Roman Catholic Church)…

Jane, Russ and I send our sympathy to you and your family, I know these last couple of months have been dreadful. I’ve know George since our teenage years and he has always had a grin on his face and a devilish twinkle in his eyes! The two of you made such a difference in our little Community and offered cheer as well as hospitality in your cozy little corner in Jennersville. I hope your memories comfort you.

A generous and kind Man.George was a pleasure to work with and more than willing to lend assistance when needed.Respected by both those running from and enforcing the Law.He always found something redeeming in those who crossed his path in the performance of his Job as a Constable.His Personality was his most powerful weapon and his Handshake ran a close second…
