We missed George since he left us all here on Donegal Circle in King's Ridge re-tirement community in Clermont, Fl. He made us all a good friend and neighbor and were sure he is doing the same thing in heaven today.

Whenever a good person leaves us it is difficut but I know that George is now with my beloved sister Marcia & that makes it easier for us. Instead of crying we will remember all the happy times we had together.
