Sharol:I am Donna Longaker Maki. My grandfather, Henry Longaker, was Joe Longaker's brother, so he was also George's uncle. My husband Jack and I came to visit George and the garden some years back. You were not home, but George had us in for coffee and a nice visit. Please know that you have the sympathy of the extended Longaker family. I have e-mailed the obituary data to others. Sincerely, Donna Longaker Maki

Dear Sharol,

Daryle and I want you to know how very sad we are to hear of George's passing. You were both so kind to Jamie during her growing up years. We are very grateful to the two of you for your kindness.
We send you our deepest condolances.
