I am putting George’s obituary back up on Facebook. I am so sorry for the inconvenience of it disappearing for some reason someone blocked my account saying that it is abusive. I have no clue and have tried to fix it, but have no response from Facebook to help, we will get to the bottom of this. I just wanted to make sure all of his friends and family were able to see this on here.
George was the such a kind gentleman and he always had a smile and hug. He will be dearly missed by his family, friends and neighbors on the hill. Please keep his family in your prayers especially his daughters; Patti Myers Yarkovich and Kathy Maximo and his granddaughters, Kristin and Megan. May he rest in peace, and may the choir of angels lead him to paradise amen ❤️
