Uncle George to me was one beautiful man. I knew him well as a child and visits to the Greenlees home out on Blackwater Rd are etched in my mind. He was wonderful to be around as a child, warm, caring and loving. I can hear his voice and laugh from back then and it hadn't changed when I saw again in the late 90's.
On that summers day he and Aunt Freda were strolling along Ferry Ave in behind Pine Valley Golf Course where I worked hand in hand. I was so happy to see them I jumped the chain link fence to hug them both. They are reunited, walking closely again. My heartfelt condolences to all of the Greenlees clan, friends and acquaintances that were so fortunate to have known him.
Sincerely Bill
