I started working for George when I was 13. He was a great boss! They say that children may close their ears to advice, but they keep their eyes open to example.

George was one of the last of a dying breed. He gave 100 percent of his time and talent to everything he did. Haydenville folks are well aware of the little and big things he did for our village, town and St Mary's Parish. George was a natural leader and motivator and we are all fortunate that he chose to spend his life here bettering ours.
