Having a second “brother George” while we were growing up together in Weirton sums up our relationship with our beloved cousin. We will always treasure those precious years.
George, you were an amazing person filled with selfless love, deep wisdom, and constant humor. Your passing has come as a great shock to us all. I still find it hard to accept and believe. I’m really going to miss you, Good Doctor. May God bless your soul.
