To Doris and everyone in our family -
We will all miss George so very much while remembering his vibrant and sunny personality, walking South Boston and Quincy, his dancing, his singing, going around the pool introducing himself and making friends in Marco. I will always cherish the good time George and I had watching the Red Sox win the World Series in 2004 when he and Doris visited Kathy and I in Pennsylvania.
All My Love and Prayers,

Mike Casey
