Gloria and family:
I was truly saddened to hear of your loss. I never can think of my time at Toys R Us without thinking of George. He was such a great guy. He was one of the best people I have ever had the pleasure to know, and I will always remember his unique kindness to everyone whenever I think of him. All best wishes to your family through this difficult time.
