Mayor Tom George "Going Home"
Posted: Thu Sep 21, 2017 7:38 am
Yesterday was Mayor Tom George's Mass and Funeral, a wonderful day for so many things. Rarely does anyone think of funerals, the departed, or the past on beautiful days.
Then a song Tom wanted played at his funeral came on, "Going Home" and it became a day of celebrating life and the death of a person that never stopped giving.
Tom George over the years became a friend, a confidant, and an inspiration to me.
To Jane, Tim and Meghan, in my 60+ years there is never enough or the right things to say.
The family asked me to share these with the public.
Please click on the video, and listen to the amazing song, and look at the photos.
Pall Bearers, Brian Corrigan, George Kubas, Ken Laino, Rich Hahn, Tony Beno, Doug Taber, Terry Novak, Jack Kander, Kevin O'Malley, Ray Velcio, Tom Jordan, Greg Gottermyer, bring Tom to Our Lady of Mount Carmel parish.
Meghan and Tim speak of their father.
Mayor Tom George, going home.
Family and friends went to Vosh, to celebrate Tom's life, the man was loved by so many.

Tom, you are already missed.
Lyrics To "Going Home" written by Josh Osborne and Tom Douglas
They say there's a place , where dreams have all gone
They never said where, but I think I know
Its miles through the night just over the dawn
On the road that will take me home
I know in my bones, I've been here before
The ground feels the same, tho the land's been torn
I've a long way to go, the stars tell me so
On this road that will take me home.
Love waits for me round the bend
Leads me endlessly on
Surely sorrows shall find their end
And all our troubles will be gone
And I know what I've lost, and all that I won
When the road finally takes me home
And when I pass by , don't lead me astray
Don't try and stop me , don't stand in my way
I'm bound for the hills where cool waters flow
On this road that will take me home
Love waits for me round the bend
Leads me endlessly on
Surely sorrows shall find their end
And all our troubles will be gone
And we'll know what we've lost and all that we've won
When the road finally takes me home.
I'm going home
I'm going home
I'm going home
