George’s Story

Site created on May 29, 2019

Hi friends + family. We started this site to keep everyone updated on George's health battle. Sadly on June 18, 2020, George passed. Throughout this entire time and in the days ahead, we greatly appreciate all of your comments, love, and support. Family sends all of our love back to you. Thanks so much.


-- 
On Jan 16, 2019 George first received his cancer diagnosis. 
By February 22, the cancer was recognized as NSCLC Adenocarcinoma (Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer) at Stage 4,  meaning it had metastasized to his lymph nodes and bones. George fought a hard battle until June 18, 2020, when he took his last breath. He passed peacefully at home with his family by his side. We love and miss him dearly. 

*Despite what Caring Bridge sends in their emails when we post, we are not looking for donations of any kind. Please disregard.

Hi friends, 

Hard to believe it has been three months. We're a little late, but realized many of you didn't get the chance to see the slideshow we made remembering George's life. Today would have been Jo and George's 36-year wedding anniversary. Thought it would be a good time to share some special memories.  

Hope everyone is doing well and staying safe. Sending love.
