To George's family - I knew your brother George from walking my dog Max at Murphy Park for the past 7 years .....for the 1st year we just passed at the park barely making eye contact - over time we developed a friendship and always enjoyed our walks & talks at the park ....he loved my Golden Retriever Max - I often wondered if it was me or Max that drew us in friendship - I wish George eternal peace and I will miss u my quiet friend. RIP ?? Julia &. Max ??
