My first job in advertising at Grey was on the National Dairy Board account. I did not know the time that I was in the presence of such genius or I would have totally fanboyed out. My heart goes out to Georges family - may his memory be a blessing.

Our deepest condolences to the family. We pray that God continues to strengthen and comfort the family during this difficult period.
