Dear Rose & Family:
This was a sad occasion for me. Bro, My brothers & sister- Bugsy, Ronny,
Maryann, Suzie & I all grew-up together in Bridgeport. Those were the
happiest times in our life. Bro & my brother Bugsy were inseperable and
These two guys together were always great for a good laugh! We played
on the same ball team ' The Mojo's ' - the Back of Yards league in 1965.
Bro was even hallarious on the field [ that was just him ]. Now, Bro & Bugsy are at the Arch View in the sky. God Bless Bro & Bugsy- I would really love to get together again. Bro was a great guy! My sincere condolences to you Rose & the Family.

George was a great guy. When I was a freshman Republican Committeeman in 1996, George was one of the veteran Committeemen who took some of us rookies under his wing. A man with a great sense of humor who of course told wonderful cop stories. My thoughts and prayers go out to his fine family.
