He was a devout Catholic and served the Lord in both St. Joseph and St. Lawrence's parishes. He was a dedicated coach for years at both little league and big league baseball in West Tampa. In 1978, he placed his district 6 big league team 1st in the nation and 2nd in the world. He was known as an awesome "Uncle George" to all of his nieces and nephews and their children. He was an incredible human being. He was gentle, giving, a great listener, child-like, funny, generous, non-judgemental, devoted, committed, faithful to God and his entire family. We appreciate the loving care he received with Comfort Keepers and Bamboo Villas ALF.
