My deepest sympathies to all, Mary Lou, John and Lucille.



I will always treasure George as an older cousin who taught me a lot about work and about the United States culture in the late 1950's and early 1960's. I also recall him being there in Italy in 1955 when the second half of the Tarcisio Anichini family journeyed to Genova and embarked for the US.

To the Anichini Family,

George always had a smile on his face. He was a pleasure to be around. He was one of our favorite patients. He will be missed by more than you will know. Your family is in our prayers
