George

ALBANY – George K.

Padula McCarg; his daughters Marie McCarg and Karen Gebhardt (Mark); his grandchildren Angela McCarg, Alex Gebhardt, and Kerry Gebhardt; his great grandchildren Nierah, Tearri, and Terrance; his brother and sister in law Josie and Tony Maio; and by many nieces and nephews.

The family would like to express their thanks to the staff of St. Peter’s Nursing & Rehab for the wonderful care they provided George.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated in All Saints Catholic Church, 16 Homestead St., Albany (behind CVS) Tuesday morning at 9:00 a.m.  Relatives and friends are invited, and may call at the church Tuesday morning prior to the mass from 8:00 a.m. until 8:45 a.m.  Interment will be in Our Lady of Angels Cemetery at a later date.  In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to All Saints Catholic Church, 12 Rosemont St., Albany, NY 12203.  Arrangements have been entrusted to the Hans Funeral Home, Albany.  To leave a message of condolence for the family, please visit www.HansFuneralHome.com.

    Marge, Karen, Mark, Marie & Angela, I am sure you all know by now how much Ron & I adored George and your whole family; You are our family also. We have so many stories of Miggy & George in our lives being there for us helping out and mostly laughing with us throughout the years. I remember when Gino decided he could skip his Bar Mitzvah lessons to ensure he went George became his “taxi” to and from Hebrew school. G never missed another one of his lessons. We will continue our love to the family and miss our dear friend forever. Our prayers are with you all.
