Dad settled in NYC after the war and met Mom there through a paternal relative. The Hondruks moved to New Jersey when George was seven; George is a product of a catholic family and the catholic schools, served in the Army during Vietnam, and married his first wife right after college, taking a position in transportation of people and freight with her dad’s company in Connecticut, where they subsequently had two delightful daughters.
After that marriage fell apart George met whom was to be his second wife, a very spiritual part indigenous lady. His spiritual growth and journey began then, and they subsequently moved to Vermont, where he again worked in the people and freight-moving business, and then as a registrar and health worker at the regional hospital. He and Maya became Reiki and EFT Tapping practitioners. George’s oldest daughter moved up with him, subsequently became locked into substance misuse, and passed away 11 years later from ‘being addicted to addiction.
From that point on (Y2K, New Years of ’99-2000, George and Maya became a vital cog in the state’s attempts to deal with Substance Abuse. May passed away Aug.12, 2019 from COPD after we moved to Rochester to be near her granddaughter for the final curtain. Maya suffered from COPD from 2002 to her death, and George was her caretaker right up until her passing at 11:11 PM. George subsequently moved back to Vermont ‘to be with his tribe’, and to this day is still involved in dealing with SUD on several Boards and with the local Recovery Center he helped found. George just recently retired from his Reiki-EFT business. Life is good and the cup is still half full. We are AllOne!view less
