I knew George for the past year. He was a wonderful man who loved his family. He was always talking about his daughters and how he enjoyed Loryn living with him. He was a kind and considerate man. Knew how to treat a lady. We danced as though we were one. People would say they loved to watch us on the dance floor. I will miss him terribly.
