Obituary For George M George

George M. George, 91 of Warwick, passed peacefully on July 8, 2020.

He was the beloved husband of 48 years to Helen George.

He was the son of the late Nancy and Massen George, and brother to the late Raymond and Joseph George.

He was the loving father to Donna George Fiore and husband Jim and Linda George Faber and husband Billy. He was the proud grandfather to Jaimie Fiore Wilson (Aaron Wilson) and Brittany Faber, and great-grandfather to Cayden and Mason.

George was brother-In-law to Bobby and Linda McElroy and had a very special bond with his many nieces and nephews.

George had two very close step-sons, Richard Pacheco (Rose Lambert) and Anthony Pacheco (Marie Whitty).

He was step-grandfather to Amanda and Anthony Jr. Pacheco (Nicole). George also had 5 step-great grandchildren, Austin, McKenzie, Kylie, Macie and Emma.

George was a man of many talents; singer, comedian, impersonator, guitar, banjo and harmonica player. He loved an audience and would perform at the drop of a hat. He was happiest when he was surrounded by people, he liked being the center of attention.

He began his career as Maitred at The New Farm Supper Club in Warwick, where he managed many functions and made many great friends. From there he moved on to Asquinos Restaurant in East Providence. It was here where he was remembered for his Donald Duck Impersonation and his singing skits with long time friend Julio Gionti. He was quite the entertainer and was always ready to sing a song. His greatest all time favorites were Frank Sinatras My Way and New York New York.

George always kept an impeccable garden. He took pride in his gardening skills and never had enough flowers. He loved the Patriots and the Red Sox. Sunday was his do not disturb day. George loved life, he loved being with family and he loved showing them off. He was the official toastmaster at special occasions, which he did with his grace and comedy. He loved his trips to Florida to visit friends. George just really loved his friends and family.

A memorial mass in Georges honor will take place at a later date.

    Georgie was so wonderful. When I was about 9 or 10, â??Donaldâ?? called me on my birthday one year (he was a good friend of my Dadâ??s and my Dad had asked him to call me and George was more than happy to oblige). My Dad, Frankie Paliotta, used to play jazz guitar and would always sit-in with Julio and Shorty at Asquinoâ??s. When my father was jamming with them, George would often come and sit with me, keeping me company, chatting, and joking around. By tradition, every night the band played, George closed with the last song and I wouldnâ??t leave until he sang. Georgie was the best Mâitre Dâ?? ever - no one was the wiser if he was ever in a bad mood because he greeted each guest with warmth and joviality every time... he simply WAS Asquinoâ??s! He was unfailingly sweet and always, always made us all laugh. His memory is certainly alive here. Sending my deepest condolences with all my heart to you and your family. ð???

    "I remember him!!!" I told my husband with a warm smile on my face when I read this. We were on a date in the late 70's at Asquino's and we were waiting for our dinner when George came to the table to entertain us. He grabbed a lemon from the bar and placed a napkin over it, with the four corners twisted and pushed it across the table and it looked like a crab!!! We laughed hysterically and never forgot that night. He was gifted with a golden personality!!! Heaven has been graced with great entertainment. God Bless!!!

    I was introduced to George by my father who was from the Hill, then I introduced my son to George. I work at ANN&HOPE, George would always come and find me we would laugh and tell jokes. Helen would shop every aisle. I would call my son up â??Come to the store George is hereâ??. They would sit for 2 hours. Dear Helen, I will miss seeing you both. Ann&HOPE is closing. One of my favorite memories will always be talking to you and George. With much love and sympathy your friends Donna and Dennis Paolucci.

    Please accept my sympathy on the loss of your loved one. George was kind,hard working,joyful and a man of great respect and loyalty. I remember bringing my children to Asquino's not only for the delicious food but to see this positive outgoing jovial man. I was fortunate to see George through the years and he always brought a smile to my face. He was a wonderful family man who was so very proud of his wife and children. I am honored and blessed to have known this very generous and selfless man. Allah Yirhamo.( May he rest in peace)

    I remember him well as a kid growing up in Rumford - our visits to Asquinos were always a treat and as a restaurateur I made his warm and hospitable style a model for welcoming diners to my restaurant... although I never mastered Donald Duck - in a small way George lives on when I greet my guests. Sorry for you loss. Bob Burke

    His picture brought an instant smile to my face as I recalled all the times I would be greeted by it at Asquino's. He was Asquino's in my mind....He'll be greeting everyone in heaven for sure...So sorry for his family to have lost such a great man.

    My condolences to George's family. George had a special gift for entertaining everyone. Our friendship started at "The New Farm Restaurant" in Warwick. I especially liked the skit he would do with his hand held stuffed characters. I liked it so much I stole the act and used it myself. When he was told what I did he remarked "Don't be steeling my act, get your own". LOL. He was and will remain a legend in the entertainment business in addition will be remembered as "one great guy with a huge heart who loved too entertain his audience. Rest in piece my friend and keep them laughing in heaven... God will be sitting in the front row... Frank Castle.
