I enjoyed the times we sat around and talked about what he was doing to the new motor home, and things we were doing around the house.
One day, George decided he needed to add training wheels to his Harley, so we spent the day adding extra wheels, and spent another day taking them off, after one week. We would ride to Cape May and get steamed clams at the Ugly Mug, and Harpoon Henrys,he loved going there.
I will miss him.
