To the Maguire Family,

Words cannot express the sorrow that I feel since having learned of George's passing. Here was a truly great guy, a great friend to so many, a loving and attentive Dad and Granddad to the beautiful family that he and Collette raised. We love the Maguires, and we will always hold the memories of George close to us.

Dear Collette and Maguire Family--
We are very sorry to hear of your loss. George was a wonderful husband, father, and friend. I remember him always seeming genuinely happy to see our family and catch up on our lives, and talking to me as an "adult" even when I was very young, which I appreciated. It was obvious how proud he was of the family that he and Collette raised, as well as his grandchildren. As time passes your sorrow will be replaced by the many happy memories you shared with him through the years. God Bless you all.
