Trudy and the rest of George's Family:
My condolences on the death of George. He was a very friendly and respectful person. The times I saw him at casino when I went there he would stop to say hello Mrs. Martinez and chat for a while. I knew them for years being from Santa Cruz. May his soul rest in peace and may God send you all peace and consolation.

Justine Valencia's Family published a tribute .

I am so saddened to read of Uncle George's passing. He was such a special person in my granddaughter's upbringing, he taught her to tie her shoe strings, the alphabet, count and most importantly respect. Uncle George always had a smile on his face, nothing brought his spirits down, such a happy person. May God give you strength and comfort knowing he is with his "Nana" and loved ones in heaven. Our deepest condolences to the Duran Family, Erica, Theresa and all who were blessed to know him.
