George and Scotty were goods friends and golfing partners with my parents Marv and Dorothy Berger for many years. They visited him occasionally and Mom used to call George daily to remind him of golf and other sports on TV and which channels to watch them on. They enjoyed many Elks meals as well as Tony Roma's dinners out together. He and Scotty are with Mom now who passed away Feb 1, 2010 and probably sharing golf stories. I, too have met George - a wonderful man who had many life stories to share. Say Hi to Mom for me George!

He was a fantastic singer with a voice like a Opera singer, he used to lead the singing at the Lodge especially whenever a member had a birthday! George also held the Office of Trustee of the Vista Lodge for many years. George and his wife used to enjoy coming to the Lodge on Friday nights to have dinner and dance to our Live Bands. He was voted to be a "Lifetime Member". George was a faithful member and will be missed dearly.
