  1. candleTo the family of George Plunkett
    I offer my sincere condolences of the passing of George. I will miss seeing and talking to him at the many bars and restaurants in Bayside. Watching sports (especially the NY Mets and the NY Jets) will never be the same. He was very kind to everyone around him. I pray that George is in heaven and at peace.

  2. George left this earth too soon, I guess the Lord wanted him close by, safe travel to heaven. You always be a Hero to me.

  4. candleTo the Family and friends of George. My deepest condolences for your loss. I worked at Sullivan with George on Sundays in the early 2000s . He brought people together and it was a pleasure to know him. He had the warmest smile and great charm.
    Gone to soon 🙏🏻

  5. candleGeorge Washington Plunket III , that’s one of the ways I would greet George back in our Rosedale, Queens days. We were teenagers when we met in “the 60’s). I remember him singing “My Girl” with all his heart and soul. Whenever I would cross his path in the decades that followed he was always the same. A good man with great integrity, a penchant for kindness and a quick wit. His memory IS a blessing.

  6. George and I were friends for over 70 years. He was like a brother to me and a son to my parents. He was a good and decent man of outstanding courage. God Bless him.

  7. Thank you for your service!! May God open the gates of Heaven and sit you at his table
    My thoughts and prayers🙏 are with his family and friends!! Rest In Peace!!

  8. I worked with George on Football Sundays for many years and it was a pleasure. We had many laughs together. I will miss seeing you in Saratoga. You are a true gentleman but more importantly a good friend. Rest in Peace my friend. You will be missed

  9. George was always a lot of fun. A night on Bell Blvd. was not complete if you did not run into George at one of the establishments. RIP George – You will be missed!!!

  10. You will be terribly missed George. You were a great person. I will miss all of of our conversations about the Mets and St. John’s basketball. The world has lost a gem..

  11. candleGeorge was one of a kind. Loyal. Faithful. Resilient. He was a good man who brought a good natured manner everywhere he went. He always put a smile on my face (and everyone else’s) whenever I saw him. Glad we were able to re-connect the past couple of years after not seeing him for a long time. May the Lord hold him in the hollow of His hands. RIP George. You will be missed and remembered. Semper Fi.

  12. George was a good friend to my family and myself. We knew each other from a very young age and had many good times. Although I didn’t see him for long periods, when we did get together it was like old times talking and laughing. I always enjoyed being with him and feel he felt the same. His quick wit and sense of humor was what I liked the most. I can remember things he said a long time ago that made me laugh. Last we talked we were going to try and do something together which I would have enjoyed. Be assured he will be remembered by all those who knew him. I’m going to miss him. Rest in Peace my veteran brother. My condolences to Melanie and family. Steve Mandzik

  13. George was a great person. Steve and I going to miss watching the Met games with him on Bell… always smiling and lighting up the room. .. very knowledgeable and not just one of the good ones but one of the best! RIP to our friend

  14. Just seeing George walk in the door put a smile on your face. In a while, he’d walk in to a circle of us who were talking and begin the opening lines of “Under the Boardwalk” and wait for everyone to chime in. Pure Happiness!! A great person, a proud Marine and a true friend. Always around for a benefit or fundraiser too. George, you will be missed. I’m sure you’ll have them angels up there singing with you soon.

  15. George, you were part of the family. Your friendship touched three generations in my household. My dad, John Kelly who was your very close friend and Belmont buddy. I have many memories of you in my life growing up. You also were there and met my girls, even giving them tips on who to pick for the daily double. You were a class act. A man who worked hard, had fun and a man of faith. You will be missed. Every time I hear the song Under The Boardwalk memories of you singing makes me smile. Until we meet again. Love, Lori Kelly Brown
