George, you are on my mind and in my heart not just on your birthday but everyday... You are an angel to me and your nieces. It is too bad that even in death our mother refuses to acknowledge me as your sister... full blood sister, not half. The one who is 20 months older than you, the one who would swing by your elementary school in Florida and pick you up and we would ride home together. The one who had a great trip to LA and drive to Las Vegas and who you lived with in the 90's in NJ. I miss your laugh and smile... My daughters know who their Uncle George was, and is in spirit. Love and kisses all the way to heaven until we meet again

To my Son on your Birthday. Twas such a happy day for me when you were born. A true gift from God, taken too soon. Happy memories is what I have now until our souls are reunited. Rest in peace my Son. Your Mother loves you and misses you.

We are thinking of you and lighting a candle. It's hard to realize that you aren't getting older than 41.

My dear son George. Today I placed 2 flowers upon the site there on My Washington. One from Gail and one from me. We love you so and I miss you so. The green grasses and the tiny white wild flowers are in full bloom again. The Stone led me right to your place there on the Mountain. My thoughts are there with you and my love also. I miss you so. Memories are what I have of you now. Love you so, Mother

My Son, I will be visiting the site upon Mt Washington, the Wamsutta Trail, where your ashes were layed last July 10. I know the lovely wild flowers will be there, as part of you are also. My thoughts are with /of you everyday George and I so wish I could have you here with me. I love you. Mother

On Christmas Eve at the service at Church we all lit a candle remembering the birth of our Savior. As I lit mine, my heart reached out to you, my Son. I miss you so. My love to you. XO Mother

I miss you every day George.

Thinking of George, it's a beautiful day here in Los Agelees, cool windy and just wonderful, I remember driving around with George in his miata with the top down. he was a great driver, but it scared me sometimes... I think he got a kick out of that ! lol. I can see his great big mile right now ! I miss and love ya George !! Love Paul

remembering the days we came together to honor the memory of Bob,. many years had passed,,our last time you were a toddler. I enjoyed our visit. i hoped we would share happier, family time in the future.It was not to be. I pray you and my children are there together in a better place

My dear Son George. Today is one to remember you with so much love it's hard to contain within. You are so missed each and every day. You live forever in my heart. On this day, November 1, 2013 you went to be in God's loving care. I love you, always.....your Mother

Thought of you today as we followed one of those CUBE cars through the Holland Tunnell. Thinking of you a lot lately actually, wish you were around to talk with. I guess I can just talk & hope that you can hear me somehow.

big smooches n a warm hug

It is your birthday, George, and we miss you so very much.  Lighting a special memorial candle, a "Yahrzeit" candle, it will burn for 24 hours in your loving memory. And, the light of your love will burn forever! We love you!!

*Remember Me*

To the living I am gone,
To the sorrowful, I will never return,
To the angry, I was cheated,
But to the happy, I am at peace. 
And to the faithful, I have never left. 
I cannot speak, but I can listen.
I cannot be seen, but I can be heard.
So as you stand upon a shore,
Gazing at a beautiful sea,
Remember Me....
Remember me in your heart,
In your thoughts, and the
Memories of the times we loved,
The memories of the times we shared,
For if you always think of Me,
I will have never gone.

On Thursday July 10, 2014 George's ashes were layed upon Mt Washington, NH. His place is at the elevation of 5,500ft upon a lovely plot of wild mountain green grass with tiny white wild flowers all around. It is adjacent to the Wamsutta Trail. There is a huge natural granite stone to mark George's spot. When I return upon the Mountain the site will be very recognizable with the Trail sign very close by. It is at the 6 mile-marker. I laid my son's ashes out at 11:50am on a beautiful cool, 53 degrees, and windy morning. This is my Son's final resting place on this earth. He will rest peacefully now. I completed my final farewell here on earth to my Son whom I love with all my heart along with his sister Gail. Gail meant everything a sister could mean to her brother. We'll miss him. He lays now at rest on top of Mt. Washington. Love to you, my son. I will always remember you.   Mother

Today is the first Mother's Day without my Son George. My heart is so sad. I miss my Son and want to "hear" his voice again. My tears are of both sadness and then joy also. We had wonderful days together. Rest in peace, my Son and know that I'll always love you and hold you close. Love, Mother

This Christmas time I missed George's home baked cookies. He'd make enough to send to his friends! That was my George! Love you, Mother

To One in Paradise by Edgar Allan Poe
And all my days are trances,
  And all my nightly dreams
 Are where thy dark eye glances,
  And where thy footstep gleams--
 In what ethereal dances,
  By what eternal streams!

For several years, George worked for the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center, where he was a strong advocate for LGBT homeless youth, and where he assisted many in making positive changes in their lives. He was a kind and gentle person, with a unique sense of style. He touched numerous lives, both colleagues and youth, and leaves a lasting legacy through the good work that he did.

Dear George-

I can’t believe you are gone. I miss you so. It’s with tears in my eyes that I write this. I have so many memories and times we shared. I remember how wonderful you were with Jude and rolling around in my garden. Helping me painstakingly paint his room the border of music instruments so delicate and beautiful The smile and dance you had. They way you tilted your head when you were thinking. The clasp of your hand when you grabbed me as we walked through the galleries and into our favorite stores. They way you put lip gloss on. The art of how you set the table for dinner. The little thing you’d added to my outfit before we went out. The time we giggled in the New Year stuffing Taco Bell into our mouths. The music you played to suit or moments. Our trip to Palm Springs with Jude in 2010. You showed me so much. The beautiful art and cards you gave at every occasion. You took time, you saw beauty, you felt so deeply. The last time I saw you riding on your new scooter how casual you were like there had been no time since we last saw one another. I know you are at peace and with David. I’m sorry you had to go so soon. I squeeze you tight and look forward to see you dancing in my dreams and whisper in my ear wear the red one. I love you.

Bye George, your chandelier will always shine bright in this world. I will sure miss your creative energy. I always think of you when I go into a gallery and felt you had such an amazing gift and loved when you would create pretty much anything. I will forever treasure the interesting & creative gifts you have made for me like my iced out Cadillac t-shirt from your label HIJK (short for hijack, so clever for a collaboration with a vintage find)
Fabulous memories of us voguing the weekend away at the hottest NY clubs when we were in college and you would come to visit me. You were my best friend and it's so sad that certain things and distance caused us to grow apart over the last few years. I know you have a heart of gold and always wanted to look after me and I wish I could have done more. 
Much love to Gail, Annemay, and Renee...I wish I could give you all a big hug XXXOOOO love to all, Nicholas

George, I know we were not really friends but we shared a deep love for someone very special and I always thought you were the only person who understood the profound loss I felt when he left us. I admire how you turned your life around and turned your bad experiences into a positive. Homeless LGBT youth in LA have lost a great champion and mentor. Please say hello to David for me.

When my Son was reaching out he asked for prayers. I had George's name placed on the Prayer List at Peace Presbyterian Church here in Hobe Sound, FL. This Sunday there will be a basket of flowers placed on the Altar in his memory. As I continue to pray for George, I ask others to continue to pray that his soul is at peace with Our Father, whom we go to for His comfort.

I am laying this flower for my brother, thinking of him today, and knowing that he is an angel helps brings me some peace.

George, I met you one time, you showed me how to clean a dvd, the right way. I knew you were a kind gentle soul just with that one meeting. I wish I could have known you better. You have left way to soon, I know you are with all your loved ones who went before, but your family & friends will forever miss you......

George ... gone too soon
You rest in our hearts. Even though we've had to part, you remain in our memories. As you rest you're dreaming of a place where peace and harmony meet. But as you dream, remember that though you're far away, you will never be forgotten. Someday we will meet again in that place of which you dream.

Oh George....I am so sad you're gone. When I think of you I hear that crazy laugh! I was so relieved and happy to find you again after we had lost touch for awhile. Thank you for all the wonderful things we shared together and for teaching me to be comfortable in any situation. You had so much more to give! I will miss you forever.

My little brother, what can I say... I will miss you every day until we meet again. We had some differences,but the laughter we shared while we were living together in my apt. will echo in my heart.your nieces may not have met you but they knew who you were.I know you have your angel wings, just waiting for you to stop by and say hello ;-( Tears all the way to heaven. Love your sis

George, you have gone ahead of us to heaven. One day we will be together again. We love you and miss you - Uncle Curt, Aunt Inge, and Cousins Lynn, Lisa and Barbara

I new George from the old Bloomfield days those were fun times. RIP George. Condolences to Gail and Renee and family.

George,
Jim and I met you in Florida at your mother's. We enjoyed getting to know you - a nice, polite young man whom you mother was proud of in so many ways. You'll be missed by so many friends and family.

The family will forever miss you George. May you rest in peace

George, you came to Ohio to visit David's resting place. This was the first time I met you. We had a very nice time :).... I will always be grateful for the time you took out of your life to do this. You now have a place in heaven that is special like you. God bless you and your family.

I am so grateful to have known you and your sweet spirit George, even for a short time.

Thanks for all the laughs and the feeling you gave me whenever I was with you and your family. You will be missed.

George, my Son, may you rest peacefully in the arms of Our Father, Who art in Heaven. My heart is broken. My love for you ever enduring. Wonderful, Happy memories of you will live on and on. As we have always told each other, Love, Mother

Rest in peace George, you will live on in our memories. Love Suzanna

To my very dear and only brother, I loved you so much from the moment you were born, such a sunny baby boy, and I am so sorry to see you leave us too soon. Love, your sister Gail

We love you, George...you will be with us, forever!!
