Dear Gisela and the rest of the Broomfield family,

It is with the deepest of sympathy that I write to express my sincerest condolences for the passing of George. I am the son of Don Coon in Buffalo, NY and I am a second generation life insurance broker with National Life. Don passed away in 2007, but I remember him speaking highly of George. Whenever I spoke with George on
the telephone, he was always very pleasant.

Please accept my deep sorrow for your loss and know that I keep him and you all in my prayers.

Having served in WWII, he was part of the greatest generation that ever lived; we will never forget the sacrifices made and the courage displayed.

I hope the happy memories you have of him will help you get through the tough days ahead.

Please do not hesitate to let me know if I can be of any assistance.

Sincerely,
Larry Coon
