Paul Sherry wrote a sympathy message

“George was a larger than life character. We grew up together in Inwood.- an Irish Catholic enclave in Upper Manhattan. In a group we called the Bears. He was our strong man. The Bears were the 1st generation to attend college. George somehow kept the other gangs at bay from terrorizing our group. It was all somewhat innocent compared to today. George had a strong will and worked hard. He was a friend that had my back and shaped my life to this day. God speed George…he rarely went slow.”

Ed Thompson wrote a sympathy message

“George was a beloved member of our Inwood crowd, a big group of over fifty teens. He stood out as a colorful character who would share his weightlifting sessions with his buddy EJ Tierney. You would always want George on your side and he was only too willing to help..He is fondly remembered by us”
