To the family of George,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. My mother, Marie (Charbonneau) Sorel, spoke often and dearly of the LeTellier family, especially Olive. I have fond memories of visiting in Holyoke and Gloria would give us all her old play jewelry and make us feel so special. I have been trying to search family history for quite a few years with my cousin Debbie Fijal. I would love to touch base with someone from your family who might have information or want to see what I have found. God Bless-

So sorry for your loss. I used to work with George at Wang years ago! We used to walk on the boulevard after work everyday, I used to huff and puff because he was so much taller than I but we made it. I miss him also.
