I will miss him so much. As I shared his namesake, I also shared many days of laughter and thoughts with him. We shared memories, poems, and so many other things. We had a lot in common. He wasn't just my Uncle, he was truly a great friend. He will always be in my heart, thoughts, and memories. God bless you George.
