    There are no words. George was a wonderful human being and a great friend. I enjoyed many visits with him and Marcia over the years. My family were neighbors and friends to them since 1970. John and I will miss him❤️❤️

    Steven and Ellen and extended family. It was with much sadness to hear of George’s passing. He was a
    good man and we pray that Marcia will be comforted by those he left behind. You were fortunate to
    have had a father for so many years. I, Cynthia, lost mine when I was only 17. Just learned that he &
    Stan were classmates at B.U. School of Business at about the same time. His generation was “the finest generation” and George was one of the finest. He will always be in our hearts and prayers. With much love.Cynthia and Stanley Cronig
