HESSE, George - In his 90th year we lost our cousin George.
George and his siblings June and Walter were first cousins to my grandfather. Neither of them married or had children so as a result they were always around during the holidays or big family gatherings.
George was a quiet man who had a love for tools and electronics.
He worked for IBM and I can always remember when we visited him, he would have the latest technology! Up until his passing he was still using a laptop and investing in new electronics and tools. He enjoyed shopping and getting the best of the best!
He was also a funny guy in the sense that he would buy something and instead of returning it or selling it he would just upgrade and keep the old one! I thank him for some of the ‘old’ technology I got over the years thanks to his generosity.
Though he never had kids or nieces and nephews of his own he was always so good to mine.
He got them gifts at Christmas and just loved watching them open it up and enjoy it!
He also didn’t need a special occasion to give them a gift, I think he just liked seeing them have fun.
George we will miss you and today I’ll have a beer in your honour.
