George Journey, 58
George A. Journey of Long Valley passed away peacefully on September 25, 2017. He was in his home and surrounded by loved ones. George’s biggest priority was always his family and is survived by his wife
and best friend, Bernice Mea, his daughter, Mariangela Journey (Mimi) of Boston, his son George
Journey of York PA, and Nick Mea of Las Vegas, NV.
George was the owner of Homestyle Kitchens and Bath in Mt. Olive, NJ where he took pride in catering to customers’ needs as well as being a stand-up business man. He also helped out where he could and was a generous contributor to Habitat for Humanity.
George had a deep appreciation for antiques and spent all his free time collecting, expertly repairing and selling his finds. He had passion for music and could always be found taking care of the landscaping around the house while listening to the local WNTI radio station. George truly enjoyed the simple things in life – family, music, and making others happy.
He would sum it up:
Be not burdened with times of sorrow
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow
My life’s been full, I savored much
My precious family, a loved one’s touch
Perhaps my time seemed all too brief
Don’t’ lengthen it now with undue grief
Lift up your head and share with me
God wanted me now, He set me free
