Frederick G., 90, Torrington, CT

Frederick George, a resident of Torrington, Connecticut, had his wish for a book signing granted, thanks to our Connecticut chapter. George, 90, has end-stage renal disease and requires daily dialysis. His beloved wife, Joan, passed away in 2021. With the help of his daughter, he wrote a book about their love story online and they printed copies of it. George is very proud of My Life Story and wishes to have a book signing so that he can share how special his wife was with others. He served in the Army and worked hard his whole life to provide for his family of four daughters. George was also very involved in his community and has been a member of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Torrington for over 75 years. He also volunteered with FISH for years, making food and distributing holiday meals. His wish for a book signing was granted on Saturday, November 4, 2023.
