Sad news for those who knew and worked with Democratic 1st Ward Leader George Badame. He passed away at age of 69.
He is survived by his son Paul, wife Mary and mother Emma. Funeral services are scheduled this Monday at Monti-Rago, with Mass following the same day at St. Rita Shrine, Broad & Ellsworth at 10:30 a.m. Those wishing additional info can email Mary at GeorgeMare@horizon.net.
George followed Councilman Jim Tayoun as ward leader in 1992 and held that post until his resignation to take on more teacher’s chores in 2001. Everyone who knew George knew he was extremely solicitous and did his best for every endorsed Democratic ticket during those years.
