I was in Ault visiting George in his home. It was the first time ever being in a beautiful underground dwelling containing everything needed to live comfortably!
It takes a very special person to create a home of this nature.
George treated me like a member of his family with love and generosity!

Your memorial service at "Dick's was a brilliant idea! Grandpa George was a character with only one blueprint! He was the most loving person in the world with a beautiful sense of humor.
Grandpa George served his country, family, extended family and friends with his heart. Jessica's birth and Mammo brought him back into our family's arms and lives.
The memories of George will be in our lives forever.
I send all my love to my sister-in-law, Billie, my brother, David and to my niece, Jessica and nephew, Jeremy.
