George C. McIntosh, Jr., 63, departed this world on Friday, April 30, 2021, at St. Francis Hospital in Hartford, CT. Even though he suffered through his illness in silence, his loving heart left a beacon of light for family, friends, coworkers, and classmates.

George will always live on within our hearts, in his hearty infectious laugh, warm and welcoming spirit. We will never forget his sense of fashion and style, with his great love of hats.
