George Gaspare LaCorte died on January 15, 2023, at 80 years old. In classic George fashion, he did it his way. George was excited to co-lead a bible study but got sick and insisted the group still come to his home for the study. Read Obituary
George was always so supportive and kind. I will certainly miss him. Jill, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Our family absolutely were blessed to have shared this life with George. He loved His Savior Jesus. He was so loving and kind. A genuine man of God. We lived at the condos he worked at. Soon became fast friends. He always talked about his beautiful bride Jill and how blessed he was to have her. Praying for his family. He leaves an amazing legacy behind. We love you George!
So sad to hear the passing of George. He was a wonderful Christian man with a big heart for people. We had so many amazing wonderful times with them and everyone else at Westside Baptist Church in Titusville, Florida. Our hearts and prayers go out to Jill and the family. God's speed George! See you on the other side of the golden gates one day!
My father George G. LaCorte unexpectedly passed away a few days ago.
I was fortunate to relocate closer to my parents about two years ago and treasure the time I was able to spend with him.
As a little kid I saw him as a giant like Thor or the Hulk. He was our playmate, protector and enforcer. He was the only dad playing basketball with us and the neighborhood kids. So many memories of him working two jobs but making sure he spent quality time with us.
I never doubted his love for me even in the teen years when we butted heads. I was/am an emotional person only realizing recently that I’ve had depression since childhood. That combination I’m sure did not make parenting easy.
As a teen I had unrealistic expectations for my dad. My perception has changed since I got married, had kids and getting older. I realize that adults don’t have all the answers, are flawed and continue to evolve. No parenting book or class could prepare my parents for three boys. My oldest brother George LaCorte was the perfect baby 😉 and then came the sons of thunder (James and John).
That realization combined with having my own kids and struggling to be a good dad has helped me let go of the unfair judgement I had about certain situations.
He provided for us. He loved us. He wanted us to do better than him. He wanted us to follow the example of Christ. He loved our families. As he aged his heart grew and he listened more. After he got sick his main focus was giving us more affection and making sure we knew he was proud and loved us.
In the world of social media so many lives look perfect on the surface. But real life is full of storms and without them we would not appreciate the rainbow or flowers. We had our share of storms but found a way to weather them and as a result become stronger.
I love you dad and appreciate who you were and became and of the boys you raised to men and best friends. Thank you for giving us life and raising us to be a strong family full of love, encouragement and forgiveness.
I miss you already.
Words will not express how grateful I am to be your son and to have shared this life with you! Thank you for every bit of the blood sweat and probably a whole bunch of tears you put in to raising me. I told you in person and I will say it here, everything I ever needed was provided plus some, you are and always will be an exceptional Father and friend!
George was a very kind warm man. He surely will be missed by is loving family. Our condolences to Jill. We go back before they were married. Even though we haven’t seen them in many years, the good times remain in our heart. Old friends Meg and Tom Scionti.
