I am so sorry to hear of George’s passing. We played in the Holy Cross
league together for many years. I moved away over 10 years ago, so haven’t seen George in many years. He was one of the nicest people I ever met. We spent many hours discussing our Yankees! My deepest condolences to his family. I now live in Charleston. SC

He will be sorely missed at the Albany Hibernian Hall. We had many great chats about baseball. I enjoyed seeing his smiling face. He was such a warm person and loved to laugh. God bless him and may he Rest In Peace .
