So sad to hear of George's passing. He was a great family man and person. I recall my parents getting together with Mr. and Mrs. Rounds back in 60's and 70's, they shared so many great times and laughs. George was the epitome of a gentleman and always made sure the conversation focused on who he was talking with. My condolences go out to George's family, I thank you for sharing George with all of us who had the pleasure to know him. My memories will always be fond ones and I will always think of George when i hear his line Cheese & Crackers
God Speed George.
