G.A. was a good friend of mind, played golf with him also played against his team in High School. All of us remember him working in the drug store .His orange and lemonade was the BEST!!
I have know GA since we played pony league baseball against each other and always saw him as one of the good guys. Miles you and rest of family in my prayers.
So sad to learn about cousin G.A.’s passing. Prayers and blessings to the family.
sad to hear about your dad, brother, and friend. G.A. was a great guy, and growing up in Robbins, He touched many of our lives with his friendship, his humor, he is one of the funniest people i have ever met, and G.A and Harold together, well, no words for that, and yes he did make a mean orangeade, lemonade and milkshake. I remember he always made me smile, laugh and feel good talking with him. The photo you have is great of him, throwing a knuckleball which I’m sure he showed many, many including me how to throw, is priceless. Miles and Laurie, I’m sorry for your loss, my thoughts and prayers are with you, he will be missed by all he met.
