George is my Godfather, and an fine example of what it means to be a Godfather. From Websters Dictionary a Godfather is one who "supports or inspires" That was and is George. There are the fond memories of great times at the shore, him giving me my first baseball glove, and the crisp $50 bills he would slide me while shaking hands (and he made sure I would always give a firm hand shake!) And him singing "Danny Boy" - so great , I actually thought he wrote that song for me. George was always there offering support & advice into my adult life, willfully fulfilling his duty as Godfather. As I have gotten older, his role as inspirer has had a profound effect. Life can knock you down sometimes, but you gotta get up and get back in the game. He reminds me of that and that you can do it with class. Now, myself the father of a child with juvenile diabetes, the perspective that comes with my experience, points to George (and the entire family) as inspiration. I am living it now, and I really can appreciate your experience as a father. It is tough, but you were a strong one, and even with all you had going on, you managed to make your Godson feel special. Thanks for that George, thanks for blazing the trail, and thanks for showing me how to get it done with class. Dia le hÉireann To Mrs. Hickey and Family-our sincere condolences, Dan Dunleavy
