Collette and family I am so sorry to hear about George. I have only known him for the past four years but he was such a character here at the Ponoka Golf Club. I always looked forward to see him each year because he was always razing me about something. Cory I am sure you will hold close to your heart all the times you two spent golfing. What a wonderful memory to have of him.
