I am so very sorry to hear this. I would see George almost every evening while on my walks. I will miss his presence. Rest easy George.
Someone so special can never be forgotten.
May you find peace, Mr. G.
My heartfelt condolences. Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow that I feel for the passing of your loved one.
I am so sorry to hear about George. George and I worked together at Lockheed and he was a wonderful mentor. I would also enjoy seeing George and Maureen at church before COVID. Thoughts and prayers to his family and may he rest in peace.

Such a giving, thoughtful, funny & Christ like man. I will always remember his smile and gracious welcome. He was a great Santa at Mt Carmel Academy, back in the early days of MCA. Always willing to do whatever it took to help his beloved wife.
Mrs Giacchino, I will keep you in my prayers. Our Lady of Mt Carmel is with you. She is by your side and will help you each moment. I can ONLY imagine what WONDERFUL, MIRACULOUS things will happen with this angel of a man who is now beside our loving Father in Heaven!
I know Mr Giacchino heard “ well done, good and faithful servant”
Always in our prayers,
The Wilks family
My sincere condolences to the Giacchino family. George was an inspiration to me and and I was always so happy to see his smiling face and talk with him. My heart is heavy, I had a huge respect for him. He touched so many lives!
Our deepest condolences to the Giacchino famiily. Mr. G will always remembered as a warm and peaceful gentleman. May the souls of the faithfully departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
We are very sad to hear that our much loved neighbor has passed away. We enjoyed seeing him come by our house on his walks with Sweet-pea and the lovely chats we all had with him over the years. He took a genuine interest in our kids and talked to them about their aspirations. He became a warm and welcome part of our lives. Our deepest condolences to Maureen and the entire family. You will be in our thoughts and prayers. May he rest in peace.
Mr (and Mrs) G were my 2nd parents growing up 💙💝 Mrs G was my Campfire leader, Mr. G was always by her side and Lisa has been the best friend ANY great girl could ever ask for. The G’s have loved me often (and cursed me, when I deserved it) and I have never loved a family as much as I love mine, but this Giacchino family comes as close as I’ve ever known ❤️
Thank you George and Maureen for the love that y’all have shown SOOOO many of us over the years. What a beautiful family, what a huge loss for us, what an amazing Angel we have gained!
That is so sweet Suzi!!! I’m glad you have fond memories of him.
Next to my parents, George and Maureen were the best example of a Christian marriage I have known. I learned so much from you both when we started Mount Carmel Academy in 2008. Working with you both was wonderful, although you both kept up the pressure to do it right and not get “dinged” for needless things. I know you will miss him greatly. You are in our prayers now and always have been since we left the academy in 2012. The kids at MCA are all very blessed to have your experience and leadership getting them through high school and the pandemic.
Lots of love to your whole family.
Lisa, John and I are so sorry to hear about your father. Our thoughts and prayers are with you, Scott, CJ and Sophia, and with your family during this very tough and sad time.
Our deep condolences, may he Rest In Peace.
Louise and John Reynolds
Thank you for your kind words.
Lisa all of your stage door inc family is praying for you and your family! Your dad was a special man and always had such uplifting comments about the theater and all involved! We love you and are here for you with whatever you may need!
Thank you Marc!
George was beyond special. He was a hero in every sense of the word. I treasure our association. There will always be a place in my heart that George occupied. Irreplaceable is the least I can say. A servant of God, and a friend extraordinaire. Dedicated, driven, humble, and savvy. Personable, persuasive, and intelligent. Not one to be trifled with, but with a heart of gold. And a good dancer to boot! George, I will miss you for a long, long time. Lord willing, we will meet again.
Our heartfelt condolences! George was such a wonderful person. Our adult sons still remember the fun times they had with George when they were young and we lived in Houston. Our thoughts and prayers are with our cousin Maureen and her family.
We are very heartbroken for the loss of George, our kids were always happy to see him and sweetpea walking. He was always smiling and making us laugh, what a great man. We will miss him greatly. Thoughts and prayers are with his family. God Bless
My deepest condolences Lisa. I remember meeting him at the theatre, and when he found out I was from Italy, he started speaking in Italian. My thoughts and prayers go to you And your family. May he rests in peace
Thank you for your kind thoughts, Dario.
George was the glue of our neighborhood block. He always made an effort to speak to everyone outside, with the help of precious Sweet Pea of course. He made us feel welcomed, loved, secure, and that we were in a safe place to raise our family. We enjoyed our casual conversations as he often boasted about his grandchildren and delighted in the anticipation of the newest addition. Sometimes we laughed and sometimes we left feeling like we learned a life lesson. Our girls adored George and we know he adored them. George was a part of our family more than he knew and he will be dearly missed by ALL of us. We take comfort knowing he was a man of the Lord and is with our Heavenly Father.
We pray God’s comfort over the family.
With Love,
Matthew, Melissa, Madeline and Margot Baccus
This was such terrible news. I’ve worked with Mr Giacchino for over 10 years. He was the father of our work family. I knew he would always take care of things, get what we needed at school, and help me with anything. I remember being a little scared of him at first because he was so frank and gruff. I came to realize he was a very caring warm hearted man with a great sense of humor. He also loved and supported cooking club and sometimes left recipes in my box for us to try. I will miss Mr G so much. Sending love and prayers for peace of heart and mind in this difficult time.
So very sorry to learn of George’s passing. From the days of Lockheed Wives Club, working Proposals at Lockheed & other encounters meeting him & Maureen, he always had that smile and friendly, warm personality, to make you feel comfortable. May he rest in peace & use those Angel Wings to protect his family & those left behind. God Bless each of his family, with their loss.
Clem & Mary Helen Iven
