- Uncle George was a sweet man. He always called me honey even when I was married and in my 30s. He used to call me up every year to see how I was.
Uncle George had epilepsy and could never have a drivers license. For years he was in the wholesale lingerie business as a salesman.
From time to time he would work with my father. There was a time when my dad wanted to have and auto parts store on the same lot with his Union 76 gas station. Uncle George worked in that auto parts store for a while.
Uncle George also worked in my dad's auctioning business. I never saw him do anything. I do remember him giving me advice. "Keep your money in your shoe. You won't lose it and it wont get stolen."
It was always nice when Uncle George came over to visit when we were little. He would fill his coat pockets with change (usually nickles) and let us reach in just one time and pull out all the coins we could get.
Uncle George was briefly married to Aunt Ruth who had a daughter by a prior marriage. They came to California when we did. When we were living in a rental house in Sierra Madre in 1948 they lived nearby in Pasadena.
Unfortunately this marriage never worked out. They were divorced. Uncle George never remarried and never had children.
For years and years he lived in Hollywood, California on Cherokee near the intersection with Hollywood Boulevard. On Cherokee just south of Hollywood Boulevard was where the IRS had an office. I had to go to that office once with Laurel Woodland Mayland when she was working with me to pick up a car.
When Uncle George was young he was a good basketball player and he had a basketball scholarship to some college out of town. My dad could remember that when he came home he would bring all his dirty laundry so his mother could wash it for him.
My dad had to go to work at age 13 to help support the family. Uncle George was excused because of his athletic scholarship. I don't think Uncle George ever graduated.
After my dad died in 1974 Uncle George stayed close to Uncle Bernie. However, after Uncle Bernie died he apparently connected up with Sol Horwitz.
Uncle George was not a Horwitz. He was the son of Rose Segal's first husband, Jaffe. However, when Dad and Uncle Bernie changed their last names to Howard so did he.
Sol Horwitz was kind enough to make sure Uncle George was taken care of after he passed away.
Everyone loved Uncle George. He was sweet and gentle. I remember him showing a few soft shoe dance steps. He had smooth moves. He was a beloved member of the extended Horwitz family.
