Both George and Carolyn reminded me of my parents and they were so kind and nice. Animal lovers too. So sorry for Patty and the family.
A great adjutant of the Combat Infantrymen’s Association. He will be missed.

Just found out. George was a constant client of mine a few years back when I operated a PC repair shop on north Milwaukee Ave near Gale Street. I have since moved, but always thought about George because he stopped coming in. I remember George bringing in some big heavy PC’s, and I would always help him unload, and load up again when he came back to pickup his stuff. He always had a story to tell, and was such a cheerful person. I lost my Grand Father as a little boy, and deep inside my deep mind, I thought of George as someone who must have been a great Grand Father himself- looks like I was right. I was just getting ready to start our yearly Xmas mailer, and I came across George’s name and address label again. This time, I paused, wondered again, and thought I should give him a call to see how he’s doing. Well, before doing that, I had a sad inclination that perhaps George was no longer with us, as that would be the only logical explanation for why George had stopped coming in or calling. I checked online, and sadly, came across his Obituary. My deepest condolences to the entire Hitzman family. George will be missed. God Bless!
