Hi, my name is Corinne du Mont, this was my grandpa and I miss him dearly. He was the light of my life and I found out he died on coming back from his house on spring break. He was an amazing person, grandpa, and engineer. Love you Grandpa George!

Shocked by this new death in your family, so recently after my good "old" friend Mr. Ed (George Sr.) passed away in January I wish you God's strength to cope with this loss. Mr. Ed always spoke highly of his son to me as he did of all his family. Please accept my heartfelt condolences.
George will live on in your loving memories as will Ed and Nadine in mine.
