Dear Elaine and family,
We were so sorry to learn of your loss. George was a truly great man who touched so many lives. We think of him often, especially when we admire the beautiful maples he planted along the lane and remember the hard work he did to keep them alive in those early days. We are so grateful for the little piece of heaven he created in the valley and for all the joy he brought so many people. Sending you our deepest condolences.

Oh goodness. I am sad to hear of George's passing. I have cut his hair at Sport Clips for many years and enjoyed seeing him every couple of weeks. He will be missed. My condolences to his family
