George and I served together aboard the USS Shields DD-596 and he will be missed by all of his shipmates. To the family we are so sorry.
The below is so appropriate to remember George by:
Afterglow
I'd like the memory of me
to be a happy one.
I'd like to leave an afterglow
of smiles when life is done.
I'd like to leave an echo
whispering softly down the ways,
Of happy times and laughing times
and bright and sunny days.
I'd like the tears of those who grieve,
to dry before the sun
of happy memories
that I leave when life is done.
