George will be not be erased from our memories as a good honest man "a real stand up guy" We had many great times on and off the job. We will deeply miss his visits at our campsites on Thompson Lake during the summer months. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the Hammes Family.

So sorry to hear of George's passing. This came as a shock to my family as we did not know he was ill. I will always have fond memories of visiting Karen and George when I was younger. And I will miss running into him at Price Chopper. May George, my godfather, rest in peace.
