Georg was an amazing man. I could not of asked for a better husband, partner and friend for my sister. The Love and dedication he had for his family was truly amazing to be a witness to over the years. I am honored to of loved him and had him in our lives.
I only met him once, but, I will say I enjoyed spending time with him and Tina and Jazzy in their beautiful home. I am so grateful for that time and so sorry that was our only brief encounter. Our lord called him home. Rest in peace and praying that god looks after this sweet grieving family. 🙏🏻❤️
