Unfortunately the Gayda family has lost another member. George will be sadly missed but always remembered. He touched many lives with his presence of wit, intelligence, and perspective on life. Our time with George was always limited due to his schedule and commitments but was always interesting, informative and entertaining. We offer our deepest sympathy and condolences with your loss and will always have George in our thoughts and prayers.
