Funeral

Last week one of my high school classmates passed away at the age of 49. He was our class president, and an all around nice guy. He was one of those people everyone liked. He was nice to everyone. He was very popular but he was not stuck up. I haven't kept in touch with many classmates and probably would not go to that many funerals of former classmates, but George was special.

He leaves behind his wife of 25 years and 3 children. He had a heart attack at home, which caused him to fall and hit his head. the fall caused a closed head injury. He went into a coma, and did not come out of that, they had to declare him brain dead.
A few of us that communicate on facebook got together at the funeral home and went to a classmates house after to chat. It is interesting to see how we have all changed after 30 years.

In Memory of George Katsarelas . Crestwood High School Class president 1978

The funeral home was totally filled so it is apparent the George still remained someone that everyone loved.
