George was my cousin. I remember him always being in good spirits when he came around when i was younger. He was always trying to crack a joke and you were probably the punch line. He had a great laugh. One memory I can share is when my dad Pino, asked George to teach my brother and I how to break dance, we luckily had a little of it recorded and I've shared a short clip here. Rest well George.
George was my patient on and off for the past 5 years at the care center. He loved therapy and would always say “let’s go, friend!” whenever I came to his room to take him to the gym. He looked forward to me stretching out his left side and would tell me how much better he felt afterward. Then I’d take him outside and sit in the sun for a few minutes and we’d talk about the Chicago Bears. I miss you Georgie-boy! Rest in peace, my friend.
George I am going truly miss our football talks about the bears and how they were going to win and go to the Super Bowl. Give them hell up there.
George im really going to miss you rest in peace I don't know where to start you say how much you meant to me in our younger years we did a lot break dancing that we got to share and the clubs we would go to and all laughs that we had together and all the hanging out having fun working for my dad Hendry Martinez an him yelling at us and firing us every other day. I wish I could have been there more for you in life you're a big inspiration to me George I've always looked up to you and still do rest in peace my primo.
George loved the sun as much as I do, so whenever it was warm outside you could always find us soaking up the sun and getting our tan on together! Love and miss you Georgie 🤍
We love you Georgie booooy ❤️🙏🏾
Grandpa make us a big leaf pile until we can jump in them together again I love you 🩷
