Will always miss the good times at Elmcrest C C. George could always give one or two a side and still beat you.

Do, Jim, and Marilyn, so sorry to hear of the passing of our Uncle Georgie. We are so saddened by your loss and please accept our sincere sympathies. We only have good memories of our childhood, our Christmases together, our camping at Burlingame and Mashmouquet - even though George was not too keen on camping but he did show up for the weekends ! He was Mr. Golf to us and his passion for the sport and his love of the Giants will never be forgotten. Jim, take good care of your mom - she is the only Johnston left now. Sincerely - The Boisvert Family - Dan, Janette, Bud, Joel & Jamie.
