Dear friends,
I received the news of Georginio's passing with a heavy heart. As a recent addition to my circle of friends, Georginio held a special place near and dear to me born out of our mutual love for our friend, Corazon. I know that it was his love and adoration for her that helped her grieve through the immeasurable loss of her mother, and for this I am eternally grateful. Just this summer I was fortunate enough to spend a week in Lisbon with him, Corazon and my boyfriend, Christian. It was through Georgie's warm and sincere hospitality that the four of us experienced the magic of Lisbon together over divine meals, traditional neighborhood fado concerts, no doubt the world's finest espresso, stunning coastal road trips and parking follies that made me laugh so hard I cried. As our resident translator, I'll never forget the image of him marching ahead of the group in a Hunter S. Thompson-like stride wearing his black ensemble outfit with socks pulled up knee high, looking for our next adventure.
Georginio's sudden and tragic passing has left a collective void in the lives of his friends and family across the globe. I've created this site as a proposed gathering point for us to share stories and photos of Georginio in celebration of his life.
Here is a link to a flickr page with some photos. Please feel free to contact me if you have images or links to images that you would like to share leilahamidi@gmail.com.
With love,
Leila
