George is survived by his beloved wife Maureen A. O’Hanlon Frisbee; his children Scott Frisbee (Korrine), and Kimberly Wright (Michael) of Colonie; his brother Walter Frisbee (Rose) and sister Terry Litke (Dan) of Florida; his grandchildren Desiree Frisbee and Elizabeth Wright; his brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law Regina and Ed Nettleton, Kathleen Parker, Kevin O’Hanlon, Karen and Tony Groat, and Theresa and Robert Nichols; and by many extended family members and friends.

Funeral services will be held in the Hans Funeral Home, 1088 Western Ave., Albany, Saturday morning at 8:00, and from there to the Church of St. Claire, 1947 Central Ave, Colonie at 9:00.  Relatives and friends are invited, and may call at the funeral home Friday from 4-8 p.m.  Interment with full departmental honors will be in Our Lady of Angels Cemetery, Colonie.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to The FASNY Firemen’s Home, 125 Harry Howard Ave, Hudson, NY 12534; or the Capital City Rescue Mission, 259 South Pearl St, Albany, NY 12202; or Food Pantries for the Capital District, 32 Essex St, Albany, NY 12206.  To leave a message of condolence for the family, or obtain directions to the funeral home, please visit www.HansFuneralHome.com.

    My thoughts are with my good friends Mike and Kim in their loss. I’ve never met George, but from the stories that Mike has shared with me, and the beautiful and caring wife/mother that Kim has become today, I can only imagine how wonderful a man George was. From my entire family, our condolences go out to the entire Frisbee family, all of George’s friends at the Fuller Road Fire Dept, and especially, Mike and Kim.

    Maureen, I was deeply saddened when my cousin Joanie sent me a message yesterday with the attachment. Although I never had an opportunity to meet your husband, the video I just viewed shows just what a beautiful family you have and what a loving man he was.

    I still remember your wonderful son Scotty….shoveling my parents driveway, just minutes after my Dad passed. I pray you find the strength to get you thru these terrible days…and also the days to follow. Your children & grandchildren are beautiful.
    Sincerely,

    Nancy Ann
