Georgieff was a very kind neighbor. I remember him when I was growing up in the Park Avenue neighborhood of Raton. He will surly be missed. My condolences to his family!
Another Raton icon, he will be missed. Love and blessings to his family.
Sad loss of a great neighbor and a friend to all he met. Don’t know anyone who could keep up with his walking pace. His memory will live on with all.
