I remember George from the neighborhood that we grew up in so many years ago. He helped me build my first wooden go kart out of some old wooden boards and wagon wheels. He was a very nice person and always willing to lend a helping hand. My sincere condolences to Donna and the rest of the Stromp Family. May the good Lord bless you and keep you in his comforting hands.
