I miss you already Uncle George. My Mom Jane and my brothers and sisters loved you and your siblings very much and will miss you very much. You were the character of the crew and have a special part in our hearts. We had a lot of fun with you any time we saw you. Your sense of humor was the best and we really enjoyed trying to break your chops. You were too old and experienced to let us win. You reminded us a lot of our Dad. Funny & witty. Thanks for sharing funny stories with us. I wish we could have spent more time together with our families over the past 80 years. We could have been a lot closer. I’m going to put a challenge out to you and you & Aunt Kathleen’s kids to start getting together 2 times a year. We are relatives and fun people. It’s stupid not to share our blood connections and some pretty interesting people.
I’ll do my best to make it happen.
Enjoy you stay in heaven Uncle George. I’m sorry I didn’t get to send more time with you.
Your loving nephew.
