Dear Toni and Family,
I am extremely saddened by the loss of Dr. George. Although no words could really express the grief, our thoughts, prayers, and sympathies are with you and the entire Boutselis family.
As you know, I was one of his first patients when you opened your office on George Street. It is because of this loving, caring, gentle man, and his exceptionally skilled hands and friendly chair-side manner, that I love “going to the Dentist”.
Later in life, when I brought my lovely bride Diane in for a cleaning, she also recognized a truly special man, a healer, a man who loved what he did, and was the very best in his field.
Dr. George always put the comfort and care of his patients first, and treated me like a family member, and I will forever have warm and fond and loving memories of this wonderful man.
May he Rest in Peace and Love!
Love,
Bob & Diane Levesque

Dear Toni and Family- I was saddened to hear about the passing of Dr. Boutselis. He was the first dentist to hire me right out of hygiene school in 1980. He gave me a good start and I learned a lot from him through the next 4 years. If I had not moved to Pennsylvania,I would have continued to work for him for many years. He was a great clinician,loved his practice and his patients loved him. I 'm sure he will be missed by so many. I will continue to keep you all in my thoughts and prayers. God Bless!

Toni and his family, my heartfelt sympathy for your loss. I've known George since we were both in Kindergarten and lived in the next block on Adams St. George was so kind to take me with his family to the beach even though his father's car was full. I was always grateful for that and i thanked his dad not too long before he too passed away. George and i even double dated for out senior prom at LHS. May he rest in peace.
