To the treasured loved ones in George's life...This is a great loss to you and you will forever have a "Papa" shaped void in your hearts. Nothing will ever quite fill that void but sharing his story and keeping his memory alive will keep it warm. I am honored to abide in the home George and his wife once filled with so much love. I feel their love still.
