This past week, I said my final goodbye to a wonderful human being and best of friends, George Garcia. I was honored as a pallbearer and to speak about him at the funeral service. My focus was his kindness which, besides boxing, is what attracted me most and made us the true, everlasting friends that we were for about the past twenty years .
George leaves behind a host of wonderful family and friends . But it is his long time girlfriend, and later to become his wife, Claire Landless that was and will forever be the soul mate of his life. Together they formed a unique bond in love and respect for one other, exhibiting a truly great relationship between a man and a woman.
On the day of George’s burial, a part of me went to heaven with him. He will always be a part of this website and will never be forgotten, as he will remain in the categories section; just click onto his name, George Garcia, for viewing.
I miss you and love you George … may your soul rest peacefully in heaven with the Lord!
My deepest condolences. He was loved by a wonderful wife and great friends such as you. RIP and God bless.
