George Elias Koury
A Tribute To My Loving Husband Of 28 Years By Rudy Hunter
George Elias Koury, 69, of Olivebrigde died peacefully Friday October 1, 2021 surrounded by his partner and a close family of friends. Born in Brooklyn, NY, he was the son of the late George and Najla Forzly Koury. He is most well loved for his sense of humor, gentle kindness and his loving heart.
Over his lifetime he has counseled and helped thousands of people & animals. He honed many skills and wore many hats including: Magician, Mentalist, Tarot Reader, Musician, Author, Ukulele Virtuoso [no kidding!], Clown with Ringling Circus, Mr. Sunshine One-Man Vaudeville Act, Clown College Trainer, Actor, EnergyWorker, Free-Hand Silhouette Artist, Essential Oil Teacher, Inter-Faith Minister, Photographer, Counselor and Psychic Medium & Angel Messenger.
George is survived by his loving husband of 28 years, Rudy Hunter of Olivebridge; three cousins, Gerard Moses and his partner Jung Tae Lee, of Syracuse, NY, Clem Moses and his partner Suzon Kister, of NC, and Chris Moses, also of NC. George is also survived by an Uncle Al Moses, of Shokan, NY. He is also survived by his Toronto in-laws Beatrice & Anatole Banner.
The in-person memorial recording is uploaded for viewing on this website, along with an additional lovely service presented on replay by The Journey Within. The final of 3 memorials is also here for you as what would have been George's 70th birthday party. So, on Zoom, we celebrated him in grand style from around the World together on his birthday.

George was always keen to remind everyone to remember the 3 Rules of Clowning:
1-Be big.
2-Drop your pants.
3-Fall down.
