Georgiann Makropoulos Passes Away At 67

 

Today, the wrestling world lost a true gem. Personally, I lost a very special friend. It is with a very heavy heart that I report that Georgiann Makropoulos passed away today at 67.

I had emailed her a wrestling video this morning as I did every week since she always got a kick at the classics. I got my email confirmation that she received it shortly after 11AM. Instead of her usual witty response and daily talk, I open my email inbox this evening to this very sad news. I am truly at a lost for words.

Long time listeners to our show will know Georgiann especially from her unbelievable hard work she and I did running the drive for Konnan's successful Kidney Transplant.

In no way whatsoever am I calling her an Angel now because she has passed on. I have had the privilege of telling everyone over the years how special she was. Not to mention recently the countless hours she and I would play online at the Super Slots Casino.

She has done so much for the Wrestling World. In the coming days, surf the net and you are going to find an unbelievable amount of appreciation from the wrestling community.

For anyone that would like to send Flowers, a Mass Card, or needs her Funeral Information, here it is:

Thomas M Quinn & Sons Funeral Home
35-20 Broadway
Long Island City,   NY 11106
Tel# 718-721-9200

The wake will take place Tuesday from 7PM to 9PM, Wednesday from 2PM to 5PM and 7PM to 9PM.

I don't have her Mass information as of yet. However I will post an update on the mainpage tomorrow.

On behalf of everyone here, we send our condolences to her family. She will truly be missed. From me personally, thank you Georgie for the countless years of friendship. While you are up in the Heavens, tease my Grandmother a bit :)
