Dear Pat and family,
Denise and I offer our deepest sympathy to you and your family on Georges passing. I have many fond memories of George and was fortunate to have him as a friend. He was a fine athlete. I saw him play high school football for my Uncle Frank Cortazzo at Westinghouse Memorial and was his teammate at IUP. In fact I threw George his final touchdown catch of his career at IUP against Clarion in 1969.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. God bless George.
Sincerely yours,
Carmine
