George was a fellow firefighter and dear friend of my grandfather's. I'll fondly remember his visits with the old-timers up the River. In my memories they're tinkering or building something, joking and laughing the whole time. (A hand-written note George made reminding us to put our tools away in the right spots is still on the wall of our shed). His Lionel trains and his model town were so cool to us kids too. The Milz boys send their deepest condolences to all the Chapmans, George was a great guy.
