Aunt Betty, Linda, and Mike: sorry to hear about the passing of Uncle George. Will always remember him as a fun loving guy. Clearly remember when he was drafted and his service in U.S. Army's Armored Regiment while stationed in Germany. RIP Uncle George.

So sorry to hear of George's passing, and he was always so professional to everyone, when I worked in Human Resources with him. May he rest in peace, and know that he was blessed to have a wonderful family who will miss him dearly. He was one of the original Mt Washington people who had a great life of living so close to overlooking our beautiful city. Just the mention of his family's name in Mt. Washington, brings back wonderful memories of my childhood. I know that Ann and Jack will miss him a lot also, since they both worked in the post office for so many years with George. My prayers goes out to George's family at this time.
