Uncle George was adored and loved by his many nieces and nephews and their families.  George was the family historian, recalling with vivid detail the difficult life of his immigrant parents, growing up during the depression, and his many adventures traveling the world.  Until COVID, George could be found ballroom dancing with his dear friend Norma Meuse whenever the opportunity arose. .
