George was a lover of all sports, especially football. Every Sunday during NFL season you could find him in front of a TV screen yelling excitedly. He was yelling whether it was good or bad for every play of the team he was rooting for.  He enjoyed barbequing and doing yardwork. He coordinated every holiday meal menu to make sure he had his favorites. He always enjoyed spending time together with family. He also enjoyed watching movies and television. George had a big personality. He kept everyone around him laughing. He always retold every story to make it funnier than it was in reality. He was one of the most helpful people you would meet. If he loved you there was nothing he would not do to help you. He was someone to always give sincere and honest advice and he shared a perspective most never considered. George will be deeply missed by his family and friends.
