I was really shocked to hear George had passed to Gods loving arms and now deeply regret not looking him up on my visits back to Farmington. We used to have some the most fun working together selling shoes in our youth what now seems a million years ago. I still get a smile when I think of his good nature and the positive attitude he had then and I am sure he carried that through out his life. Bless you and your family in this time of loss.

someone once said if a man is lucky he can count his friends in life on one hand. I lost touch with George over 25 years ago when I left Farmington. My nephew sent me this link. I have thought of those years in HS and Sam Juan College often. Cruising in his firebird and going to the lake. Those were the days. Berry Mullennix
