There are a few men I gained respect for over the years and 'George was one of them. I will always cherish the talks and discussions we had at Carolina Container shop. George loved to have deep meaningful conversations about Religion, politics , and just everyday life. Never meet a more giving man in my life. I didn't say good bye, I just said I will see you later in another life.
