Not sure what to say?

I recall our times together ....Training , Inspection committees and all the great times and mostly the heartfelt conversations .......true friends are hard to come by.....how after all these years i miss them .

10 years gone, by, I met George at Wellesley Sunoco, he was a mechanic there. He was a very meticulous one, great at diagnostics, that was probably around 1978 or so, I stayed in touch with him as much as I could. But as life gets busy friends sometimes don´t get together as often as we´d like. I did visit sometimes to the medfield shop, I remember when he was sick, being treated & we managed to get out on motorcycles, we were ripping down 27 towards the shop easily going 100 mph! I thought...

Dear Friends and Family,
I just heard of George's passing, and would like to extend my sincere condolences for your loss. I have known George since the 70's and always considered him a good friend. I'll miss visiting him at the shop in Medfield.

Dear Mary and Mae,

I am so sad to hear of the passing of George. You all held a special place in my parents hearts, and George will be dearly missed.

I must say it is quiet in my world as to not having George to debate Automotive Tech.changes. It is always quiet when one losses a friend but we will carry on the memories that are a great part of our being, God Bless the time we had in our lifes travels.

George was a very special person. I feel privileged to have known him and will miss him forever. His strength and character was an inspiration to all.
Good bye dear friend. I will always remember you.

I am praying for you to have peace and strength at this time. You have my deepest sympathies.

I miss you dear brother.

I first met George when no one could figure out what was wrong with my car, he did. Little did I know what a friend he'd come to be. I learned so much from him and he was always a good friend. I will miss him deeply. Our prayers are with you.
