… There was always a “story” to be told about each. George was an avid Cleveland sports fan and loved his NASCAR. George loved spending time with his family, especially his grandchildren.

He was his grandchildren’s number 1 fan, no matter what sport or organization they were in. He was loved by many, especially the children who would all call him “Uncle George” or “Papa George”. He loved all of his nieces and nephews.

He was someone who had an open door to anyone that stopped by, and for that, he will be greatly missed, and never forgotten.
