Dorothy and your children, My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.Georgie was well loved by our family and he always went out of his way to make my mom and dad feel so important. I always enjoyed seeing him around town when I would be visiting my parents. Although his last couple years were difficult, he left a wonderful tribute for his family. May His Memory Be Eternal

Dear Dorothy, Joe, Jimmy, Susan, Gary & Joltz, We've been thinking of all of you. I loved George. We all have so many wonderful memories of him from the old days, spending time at your home- singing & dancing - so many stories, so many laughs. It was always a great time!! I'll never forget how he made everyone feel special. He certainly had a positive impact on every person he met and was a generous, giving person. I know these past several years have been rough going, but we will always have good memories of him (and all of you)from past years. All Our Love & Sympathy, Cathy & Mickey Bruzzese & Family

Anna Maria and I send our deepest condolences. His loss creates a huge void because he was a man of great character and integrity. I remember "Mr.D" with such fondness--going back almost my whole life- -all the way back to Railroad Ave. I do know that he cherished his beautiful family and I witnessed the tremendous love and respect all of his sons and daughter had for him--each "honoring" him in life and this is the greatest testimony of all. May his memory be eternal.
