I will always remember, George calling me Grannie Annie. He would say that every time we saw each other. When they would visit, from Florida or whenever. Dick and I are so sorry, for his passing. Ann & Dick Grigway

I will truly miss you grampa... I love you very much. There were so many good moments that we shared.. I remember when I would stay over as a child and we would play card games. Most of all our favorite game was war.. You would reach out and scratch my head saying,"ahhh my head sure is itchy!" I will always love you grampa...

I will end in a quote of his..
"Lamkins are Lovers"

I was saddened to hear the news that my Uncle George (also my Godfather) had passed away. When I was younger and would see Uncle George at family simchas, I fondly remember our running joke. He would come up to me, put out his hand for a handshake, and then waggle his hips and shout, "Let's shake!" No matter how many times he did it, he ALWAYS made me laugh. My wife Leah and I join the many loved ones and friends who are mourning Uncle George's passing, and we are holding his wife, siblings, children, and grandchildren in our thoughts and prayers.
