IN LOVING MEMORY OF
George Theodore
June 30, 1940 -
November 2, 2007
We sat beside your bedside,
Our hearts were crushed and sore;
We did our best to the end,
'Til we could do no more.
In tears we watched you sinking,
We watched you fade away;
And though our hearts
were breaking,
We knew you could not stay.
You left behind some aching hearts,
That loved you most sincere;
We never shall and never will
Forget you brother dear.

George was born in Boston in 1922, the second son of six children. He
was highly intelligent, but as a youngster resented the structure and
confinement of going to school. George was a life-long resident of East
Boston of Greek and Italian descent, and was most proud of his Greek
heritage. He was not a regular church goer, but lived religiously
following the Greek Orthodox religion, reading the bible, praying and
believing in God. George always wore a scully or baseball cap and
enjoyed long walks, thoroughbred racing, going to the racetrack, reading
and sports. He loved the sound of Tony Bennett who he often argued was
the greatest singer in the world. George worked as a welder at the naval
shipyards most of his adult life, and after semi-retirement was an
attendant at the Boston Gardens. He lived simply, having all the
necessities of life, but put on no airs. Having no children of his own,
he was very devoted, loving, and close to his many nieces and nephews.
George passed away at the Massachusetts General Hospital after a brief
illness. He was 67 years of age. The Memorial Home is handicapped accessible and a
children’s lounge is available. Courtesy valet parking at the front
entrance and ample attendant off street parking is also available in our
3 parking lots. For transportation to the memorial home please call
617-569-0990. Services will conclude with George being laid to
rest in Woodlawn Cemetery in Elm Street, Everett.
