Dear George, Meg, Tom & Cindy. I am saddened by your loss. George was a friend and supporter of Garth Fagan Dance for more than a decade and yearly attended performances with friends and family. We had lunch annually and he was a very generous and thoughtful man. I know from him how much he loved family trips and spending summers with you all.

Dear Ewing Family,
I am so sorry for the loss of your father and grandfather. I had the honor of working for your Dad as my first job out of college (1980). It was a great experience and I learned so much. And I still remember those wonderful Christmas parties! Both of your parents were so gracious and generous and the parties were a delight. I will keep you in my prayers.
Sincerely, Mary Ellen O'Dell Schantz

Dear George, Tom and family,
I am so sorry to hear about your Dad. All my memories of time spent with your family are cherished..the times at St. John's, the Christmas parties and the Adirondack's..very special. But what is truly the mark of the kind of man he was is that up until very recently your Dad made a special effort to check in with my Dad...take him out to lunch and keep him connected. That friendship and caring is proof of what a wonderful person he was..all of Canandaigua will miss him. My thoughts are with you all.
Sincerely, Jane Hoekelman
