Heartfelt condolences to you Renate, and to your beautiful family. I saw George as a wise, kind and compassionate man who obviously adored and appreciated his family. A cheerful greeting from George always made me smile and feel welcome and I am very thankful to have had the opportunity to know him, even to the limited degree I did. My thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless.
