George and Enes were the best. Jeff and I were newly married and we were in Chicago for another relative's wedding. George, Enes, Jeff and I shared a cab to go watch a Chicago Cub's baseball game. Uncle George taught Jeff and I how to score a baseball game. He was always so kind and with a smile. He was a great man, who while not big in stature, had a big impact on those around him. Someone you were always glad to see. Lucky to have known him.

George and Enes were very special to us. Enes gave me the idea about wearing ballet slippers on your wedding day when your groom was your same height. Uncle George was so gental and loving. He always had a smile on his face. There are people who are takers in this world, but Uncle George was a giver. He help instill in me the love of volunteering. The world was a better place because of him. He will be missed.
