My friend, Hope, lost her husband suddenly and unexpectedly to a heart attack on August 1st. She discovered him on his bedroom floor in the morning when she was getting ready for work. It was shocking and devastating. He had battled lung cancer and won, but was not able to overcome addiction to pain medications. About the only thing we ever agreed on was our love of the Red Sox; on everything else, we agreed to disagree. When Trisha called me that morning, I could only think that he was not old enough yet, he should have had more time. From the Lockport Union-Sun & Journal:
Harry F. George entered into rest on August 1, 2013. He was born in
Niagara Falls to the late Anthony and Anne (Atamian) George. Harry
graduated from high school in Niagara Falls and most recently worked at
candlelight cabinetry in Lockport. He was a supporter of the United Way,
a fan of the Boston Red Sox and the Buffalo Bills. He loved golf and
his numerous cats.
Harry is survived by his wife, Hope (Edwards) George; two children,
Anthony George of Niagara Falls and Sheri (Kyle) Durkin of North
Carolina; stepchildren, Lynda Malcomb and Patricia Haubrich, both of
Lockport; Rose of Florida and Nicole of Niagara Falls; a grandchild,
Kyle Durkin, Jr. Also survived by an uncle, Sooky Atamian of Niagara
Falls; and other grandchildren.
