Jennie, John, Elena, Jeannie, Amy & Andrea,

I was so sorry to hear of Georges's passing. I will always remember him and smile. He was a great man, a Gentle Giant.
I'll miss his stories, his laugh & that big smile. Every time I smell zambuca, I think of him and his espresso, lol
I will remember him with happy memories.
May he rest in peace !! God Bless !!!
