I went to grade school at St. Joseph's and HRHS with George Patrick.  My parents occasionally celebrated their anniversary with George's parents - and the date  was also my birthday (August 28).  My Mother did not think it was the greatest to share her anniversary with me because I always HAD to have a birthday party.

George Patrick (I always called him by both names) was a delightful person!  I was saddened to hear of his passing.  Sara Fabick (Once known as Sally Wilson)

I remember George from St Joe school.  He was a great boy and a brother to Mary Caroline who was a special friend of mine.  Sad to hear of his death. Phyl (Hahn) Rusk.
