I think of George often. I regret so much I didn't get to see him before he passed. He was such a good friend and you could count on him for anything. He truly was one of a kind. I'm sure Felix, Bic and Fletcher was there to greet him. Love you George always.

There are people that you meet in life that you will never forget. George was that person. I still think of him and I do miss him dearly. So many wonderful memories. Always joking around, always happy, always willing to do anything he could for you. I so wish I had known he was sick so I could have seen him again. I miss you George and there will never be another you

I remember George, Jr. as a cute little boy. His sister, Maryann, and I were "best friends" in high school and I saw him a lot while at their home. Always outgoing and friendly...have not seen him since 1957, but have great memories. Bill and I send our thoughts to his family.

Since learning about George's illness I prayed for him every day. My son Alex kept me informed. A very dear neighbor and friend for years. I shall never forget George's heart, sense of humor, and smile. He's now in a much better place than you and I. Gig'

I am so sadden to learn of George's illness and passing. I haven't seen George in many years, but I have thought of him many times with much fondness. I I never see a cocker spaniel that I don't think of George and his dogs Bic and Flecher. He so loved them and his beagle Felex. I always admired his compassion for animals. George had a big heart and was such a good person. My prayers go to his wife and family during this difficult time.
