George Gangerni, the man who danced on the square at Spanish Springs
I saw George Gangemi this morning on my way to work. He is the gentleman who use to dance every night at Spanish Springs Town Square. I loved to watch him work the crowd. He always made me and many others smile. I happened to have my camera with me this morning and asked if I could take a photo. I explained as best as I could about TOTV and how people were asking about him. He was so happy to know people cared.
His nurse was walking with him and kept teasing him, saying he was a celebrity getting his photo taken. She helped him adjust his WWII veteran hat and straightened the collar on his shirt. I told him it always makes my day to see him. He said I made his day taking his picture to share with all of you. He is losing his eyesight and hasn't been going with his nurse to the square on Mondays. She said he's going to be having surgery on his eyes to help his sight. Let's keep George in our prayers. |

He is a delight! I have watched him dance at the squares and I believe he is in his 90's? He is an inspiration. Keep on going, George!

I don't know this gentleman but it sounds like when you took his photo today you made the day for both of you and the many people who know him from the Square. Thank you for sharing!

Oh how I love George-----thank you for posting his picture--I love seeing his smile. He even has fans in Virginia. My daughter-in-law danced with him during one of her visits--fell in love with him-and asks about him every time I talk to her. We are in Virginia now and I can't wait to show her his picture when she gets home for work. The Villages Daily Sun did a wonderful article on him a year or so ago. I saw him a few months ago in the Square--talked to him and told him how he was missed and that he was in my prayers nightly.
