To know George was to love his gentle manner and sweet disposition. I have witnessed the compassion and caring he had for his family. A brother, unlike no other. A son and uncle, unlike no other. He and Larissa shared a strong bond and partnership that allowed them to work through difficult and painful times. Their strength was in each other.

Larissa, I cannot imagine the pain of this sudden loss and the cross you have to bear in his absence. I will keep you in my prayers and hope that our heavenly Father, along with close family and friends, give you strength and loving support during this difficult time.

Our sincerest condolences,
Christina Czyrko and Family
