Yes, we are of good courage and we would rather be away from the body and at home with the lord.
God speed Dad, may you’re memory be eternal, we love you.

Your dad was the best he was optimistic till the end I was fortunate to know him. We worked at Walmart together & he was a great friend, I know his last years were so hard but he’s at ease now, good bye until I see you again George
George, when I didn’t hear back after your last text, I was pretty sure of the reason why. Should have known to come to your timeline.
I know now you are at peace and reunited with EJ, Stefan and Lady Jan. You were a tortured soul and now you’re not!
Jamie, he loved you and your family. So glad Mira went to see him.
He was loved by many and I will always remember him as EJ ‘s husband and the twins father. Chris, he loved you!
Rest In Peace, my friend!
I’m so sorry to hear of Papa George’s passing. We attended the same church in Akron. He was always a voice of encouragement. He spoke of his sons often. He loved his family very much. Thinking of you during this time.

To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. II Corinthians 5:8. Knowing how much George suffered over the last couple of years it gives me comfort to know he is at peace, finally home.
Jamie, your Dad spoke of you often and he loved you deeply and was proud of you. May God comfort you and the entire Kostan family as well as George’s many friends.
I will always remember sharing our mutual Greek heritage and hours of laughter and most of all his friendship. He was a man of great faith and godly character. RIP my dear friend.
