Amplement Family, so sorry to hear of George passing.He was one of the good ones. may he RIP sorry for your loss.

My fondest memory of George is his quick short staccato laugh-the loud, punctuated "HA" accompanied by that handsome smile! George is so proud of his four children; he lights up when he talks about the grandchildren. He speaks so lovingly of his parents, his siblings; George is all about family. He spoke at great length of his devotion to Christ and he was able to come to the realization that the often tedious work of law enforcement is service to G*d; George's life is an expression of ministry in the service of his Lord and Savior. Please know that George came to realize this and is welcomed home with all the joy he had known despite the suffering he bore with such dignity.
Most Sincerely Yours;
The Reverend Doctor Derek Davis
Chaplain, Hospice Buffalo; retired.
