We are saddened to hear of George's death. He was so helpful when we moved to Florida four years ago. George entertained us with his many stories of a life lived to its fullest; he truly enjoyed life.
Good-by dear friend. We will miss you.

May God hold you in the palm of his hand until we meet again.
