Obituary for NEVELOS


Published in the Albuquerque Journal on Wednesday August 04, 2010

George J. "Papa" Nevelos was born September 8, 1931 in Plainville, Ct. He settled in Albuquerque in 1962. He married Sonja Kay Thorn on October 1, 1965. George worked as a truck driver and was also an ordained minister. He was a simple, hardworking man whose unwavering faith in God saw him through many tough times in his life. There wasn't a more generous and forthright man on this earth. George left us on August 1, 2010 and was preceded in death by his loving wife; and his son Brad. He is survived by his dear friend Eva Hobbs; best buddy Mike Grimalauskso; magnificent daughter Ava Caruso, her caring husband Tim, their children Jaylee, Kayla, and Mya; granddaughter Lori; his beloved dog Tiny; and countless extended family and friends. George's true friendship and wry sense of humor will be sorely missed. Memorial services will be held on Wednesday at 3:00 p.m. at Blake Road Baptist Church. In lieu of flowers, please do something nice for someone today. Love you, me too, mmmmm!
