Life can be so cruel. I enjoyed working with you George, treasured our relationship, talking about soccer and coaching, and you laughing at all of my lame jokes and stupid "boy talk." I enjoyed seeing your bright eyes and broad smile, and especially appreciated your sense of humor and laidback personality. My hope is all of the people who knew you well will have fond memories to help get them through this difficult time. Goodbye and God bless.

A very sad time for Nadine, Scott, Carrie, Alyssa, Kayla, family and dear friends. I will always think of the good times, his forever smile and times he always offered help. Even when my dad passed away he was there to offer help even though he barely knew him. George's kind heart forever shined. We will all miss him. Finally may he rest.

I just love this picture you chose of George! This is how we want to remember him - smiling and pink-cheeked, sporting his "Prime-Time" Deion Sanders gear and proud of it! I knew it was kool for me to be a Cowboy's fan, too, if Georgie was around. I can't say it enough - today and everyday, my heart and prayers go out to you all. I know how much he will be missed, always loved, and memories cherished.

Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of this young man. I always enjoyed being associated with George -- initially as a young soccer player and then later in life. He was an outstanding athlete, yes, but I will remember him as a gentleman with respect for others and a keen sense of humor. I recall that I could not get him to call me by my first name for a long time. He insisted on calling me Mr. Paglia. Then,
one day at the Norwin soccer complex, he greeted me with a "Hey, Ron, how are you?" I always enjoyed and appreciated our friendship.
God will look after him.
Take care.
Peace and Love
