Sue, I am so very sorry that I just NOW found out about your Dad. I wish I had known, I would have been there for you and your family. Please give your mom our sincerest condolences and know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. Your dad was truly a great man. I have fond memories of him going back to our days at Most Precious Blood School. I am so glad I got to see him more recently at your work. If there is anything I can do, please contact me. God Bless. Kathy (Murphy) & Tom Heaton

George & his wife Vicki were my next door neighbors for 14 years and they were the best you could ask for! George will always hold a special place in the hearts of myself & my children as he had a smile that could turn a rainy day into sunshine galore! We will always love ya George even though you didn't like the Yankees!! :)

My sympathies to the Christoff family for their loss. I work at the library and Mr. Christoff brought me seeds for the hollyhocks that thrive in my garden. It was always a good day when he came in with that great smile!
