“He married us. He laughed with us. He debated our daughters. He praised my Thanksgiving turkey. He loved ice cream. He was everyone’s council. He married or baptized almost every Greek on the eastern seaboard. He was held in the highest regard. He will be missed by so many. Sagapo Father Bob.”

George’s co-star Robin Roberts was one of the first to send support, writing: “Thinking of George, you and your wonderful family. Sending love and condolences.”

Deborah Roberts added: “Sending prayers of comfort to you, George and your family!” Rebecca Jarvis, who has been filling in for George during his time away from the GMA studios, wrote: “Beautiful words, Ali. Sending love and prayers to you and George and your entire family. Such an incredible life and legacy.”

George and Ali’s oldest daughter Elliott, 21, also commented, with a slew of love heart emojis. Ali shared a number of photos of Reverend Robert to accompany her tribute, which were all taken from her and George’s wedding day in 2001.
