Dear Diana,

My deepest sympathies in George's passing. He was a great guy who did a lot for Great Harbors. I enjoyed being on the Board of Directors with him and will truly miss his insight. George was one of the first people that I met at Great Harbors and I will never forget his kindness and thoughtfulness.

Sincerely,
Dr. Robert M McCarthy

Dear Diana and Family,

Ken and I are deeply saddened to hear of George's death.

As I told him at one time when we were all at the Flying Bridge,

he was my favorite cousin. My memories go back to Fuller Street

in Waltham, where I could walk from my house to his.

My dad was very fond of him.

With our sincere sympathy,
Marjorie and Ken Feeley

Dear Diana,

Ken and I were saddened to hear of George's passing.
As I told him at one time when we were all at the Flying Bridge,
he was my favorite cousin. My dad was very fond of and respected him.

On another sad note my sister, Carole, passed away in September
with her daughter Lisa at her side.

Our sincere sympathy and prayers for George, you and your
family.

Fondly, Marjorie and Ken
