George was a great guy, and knew how to have fun. My condolences to Margie and family.

Please accept our sincere condolences. From Terry & Maureen Gilhooly

I was very sorry to read of George's passing. I met George years ago and often relied on him for home inspections. Later, when I was remodeling a 90 year old house, George helped me pick out the kitchen cabinets and granite and installed the new kitchen. In the process he discovered a compromised support beam between the kitchen and hallway which, if not replaced, could have resulted in the collapse of the second floor. He was a skilled craftsman and just a wonderful person. I will miss him.

So sorry to hear of George’s passing. He was my dads friend since they were kids. I remember his passion for cars, and love of Elvis. He will be missed. Thoughts and prayers go out to the entire Streske family. God bless.

Our deepest condolences to the family. George was a great friend and a special person who could tell the best jokes. He's in heaven telling jokes and making everyone laugh. He is forever in our hearts. We will miss you and love you, George. Rest in peace dear friend. Love, Greg and Barbara

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

George did so much for us when we moved in to a huge fixer-upper. He was unflappable amidst the dog and the toddlers and the tipped over x-mas tree. Everything he worked on was perfect. He was an excellent carpenter. He enriched our lives by helping us live in an older home. I missed him when he retired but thought of him often. He will always be in our thoughts. Thank you George.

We are so sorry the hear of Georges passing,he is in our prayers

We are saddened to hear of the passing of George. He and my dad were great friends, and he will be missed. Our deepest condolences to Marge and the family

Marge & Family, We are very sorry for your loss. My best memory of George is he showed up to our car show in Streamwood and he was the first car to arrive. I was just behind him. We have a bunch of time to talk, and he was telling me stories of my grandfather (Joseph Baran) who I never met. Those few hours were amazing. His Vette looked & sounded awesome! He will be missed by many!God Bless.Thoughts & Prayers for you and your family.Scott J Bara n & Family (Sue, Joe & Eleanor)
