Jackie and Gary, I am so very sorry to hear of your dad's passing. I just now saw it online. Please know that if we had been notified we would have made the service on Friday. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. George was an amazing neighbor for so many years. My boys absolutely admired him. May Eternal Rest Grant Him O Lord, and Let Perpetual Light Shine Upon Him. Our deepest condolences.
