George’s wife Martha, son Brendan & all his family wish to extend their most sincere gratitude for the many expressions of sympathy & support they received throughout George’s sad & unexpected passing & during the time since.

Heartfelt thanks to those who visited the funeral home, those who gathered for the celebration of George’s life & his burial, either in person of via livestream, those who sent cards, letters & texts, to those who shared beautiful memories online & most especially those who travelled long distances to be with them. Thanks also to those who donated geberously to the Arklow R.N.L.I. in George’s memory https://gofund.me/b3bca659
