Not sure what to say?

Dear Bourque family I was so shocked and saddened to learn of George's passing. He gave my four year old daughter her first pair of pink Princess glasses and, at no charge he sent three pairs of old children's frames home for my 2 year old triplets so they wouln't feel left out. George was so wonderful to us and spoke so sweetly of his own granddaughters. I'm so sorry for your tremendous loss.

Dear Bourque Family, I am so sorry for your loss. He was a wonderful man, father, husband and grandfather. He was wonderful to my mother Charlotte, always had her glasses ready that day no charge. Always a smile on his face. He will be missed by all he knew and touched. Iam very sorry for your loss you have my deepest sympathy.

George was an incredible person and optician. He always asked many questions to find out exactly what type of things you would be reading/looking at, etc. And knew what type of lens and frame would work for which type of application. And was patient and easy to do business with. He will be sorely missed by his customers. My condolences are with the whole family.

I met George prior to his buying Concord Optical,when he was an employee at the store. He was always so patient,and helpful to me, my wife, and my daughter but the most enjoyable part was the conversations we had. I will miss him. My condolances to his family.

George was a wonderful man. Always eager to help us when we would come in to Concord Optical. Minor adjustments to glasses were always "no charge" with a smile. We are shocked and saddened by his sudden passing. Our deepest sympathy to the Bourque family. We will never forget his kindness.

Sincerely,
Adrian and Christine Peterson

Dear Bourque family

It is with deepest sympathy that I acknowledge your loss. George Sr. had been exceptionally good to my boys, Jacob & Hunter, when their glasses needed a repair. He was always generous and kind and will be missed. My boys and I are deeply saddened by this news and send our prayers out to your family.

Sincerely
Keri, Jacob, Hunter & Hayden Gray

Your husband and father, George, has been a good friend, fellow Lion and the best glasses guy around since I can recall. I was so looking forward to seeing him this week with an updated Rx, and terribly sad to learn of his sudden passing. You all have my deepest sympathy in your tremendous loss. Kind, generous, gentile, soft spoken and always of service to others are what I will remember in George. We all are the richer for having known George, and the world a little less so in losing him....

George's legacy to me will be his selfless generosity, his desire to give his time to make this world a better place, his compassion and understanding, his ability to relate to all people and his love of his family and of life.
We will miss you George.

Dear Mary and family:
I have known George for several years through the Concord Lion's Club and he was the most thoughtful and sweet guy a person could know. I also used his services at Concord Optical and he was so patient when it took me one hour to pick out glass frames. And then, when I had trouble adjusting to my new glasses, he invited me back to the shop for "Progressive Lens Boot Camp" !!! What a sweetie. My thoughts are with you at this time. He was a great, great guy.
