George had such a wonderful sense of humor and also a big sweet tooth! My favorite memory of him is when Melody had him call me on the phone on St. Patrick's Day (I am very Irish) and he spoke to me in a leprechaun voice. I LOVED IT!!!

I also would laugh at how early he would remind everyone that his birthday is only 30 days away....20 days away....10 days away...etc.

What a wonderful man who was so proud of his family! God Bless him!
