I remember meeting George for the 1st time as a youngster. My father (the late David Rasof) was a cousin of George's and greatly admired and respected him. I still remeber being fascinated by the wonderful stories he told about George, and his family...particulary stories about Barney and George as young boys growing up. I had many a good conversation with George over the past 50 years and can rember him as a wonderful caring man who loved life and his family. Although I am a somewhat distant cousin, he always made me feel special. May he rest in eternal peace!

Cousin George was such a gentle soul. He always lifted my spirit with his genuine interest in my life, great sense of humor, warmth and caring. I will always remember him with love and respect.

Dear Rasof family,



I'm so saddened to hear of the loss of your beloved George. Though I only got to know him late in his life, he took me into his home and treated me with the warmth of a member of the family. He was a true Chicago "one-of-a-kind" and he will be greatly missed.
