Hi grandpa it's David. Probably won't get too read this but if you do I love you more than you could ever know! I'll miss all your stories and your phone calls. When we meet up again in Heaven you'll have all of eternity to get me caught up on everything I missed. I think about you often, what you are doing, and what your new heavenly body looks like and i still pray for you daily. I can't wait to see you again. I love you and miss you! Love David

Our heartfelt sympathy to the Petroff family. George was a true inspiration to us all with his cheerful attitude, and his quips about golfing and having 2 pouches. He was proof positive of a "Normal" life after surgery that helps us to continue to show others how to live and have a "new Normal" post surgery. George was always there to get the water for the meetings from the cafeteria and he was such a life force for the group! God Bless you all and may His grace and mercy be upon you during your time of sorrow.

George was my dental patient for many years. It was my privilege to know him.
He was a nice man...my regrets to the entire family.
