Uncle George was very special to our family. Especially to my parents Dad Andrew (Jack) and Pearl Redding. When a young boy he lived with my Dad and his parents, he was like a brother. My Dad enjoyed always keeping up with him and his family. He would regularly call him just to keep in touch. To me he and his wife they were Uncle George and Aunt Bev, always a joy to see them when they came to town. Both very caring and loving to us. He was always happy to see us, along with Aunt Bev ...
