Debbie and Rhonda, as you know I had worked with George for almost 18 years. As a member of the Camrec's family, I learned to respect and appreciate your Dad as a person, as well as the Manager of an unique architectural, engineering and consulting firm. To George, any one of us, his hand picked technical people, were human beings first. I will always have fond memories of George, and your Mom Anita, and of the often challenging time we spent at the office, and of the always good times we spent at your Mom and Dad's place. My and my wife Franca sincere condolences to you and you families.

Our sincere condolences, and much love.We are making a donation to the Charity of your choice in George's name.
