Dear Pirocchi family,
Was so sad to read George’s obituary today. He was such a good friend to my dad Frank throughout the years. I know it meant a lot to my dad before he passed away that George would come and visit with him. I remember spending many visits with my parents at your house in Williamstown for dinner or coffee and donuts. I still have the ceramic dachshund my mom painted because   it looked just like George’s dog Archie. We named it George and he sits on my back porch as a special reminder of a good friendship. May we all be blessed with such special friendships. Just wanted to let you know we are thinking of you at this most difficult time.
Love, Antoinette (DiMeo) Reed & Family

Dolores, Linda, George, and family,
Sincere sympathy to all of you in the passing of George.  We were neighbors and family for 30 years on Ketal Avenue.  All those memories of him will stay with me forever.  I can still visualize him mowing the grass, in his garage, or on the patio.  I will always remember the long conversations I use to have with Dolores and him over coffee.   I will keep your family in my prayers.
Love, Kathy McIlvaine
