George, Even though I only met you the one time you were so welcoming and made me feel like part of the family right away. I want you to know that you raised a wonderful man in Chris and I know he really misses you.

George, you will be missed. Thank you for teaching me the game of golf. One thing I will always remember with you is the time we were coming back from Fort Lee and we passed the pond on our right that was actually a waste water treatment plant and I said man I wonder what kind of fish live in there? You turned and chuckled and said you big dummy turds live in there. In my defense I was only 13. That was the one thing I will always remember. I love you!! Chris
