As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends.

Back when the waitresses at the restaurant wore white dresses, I remember a friend of George's coming in with a couple of hunting rifles. They sat in the back at "George's table," carefully going over the guns and looking through the scopes. To say I was caught off guard to find a gun pointed at me when I came around the corner with the coffee pots would be an understatement. I remember laughing to myself - Only George Konstantinou! He will be missed by many. We are thinking of you!
