Evelyn, Cindy and Janice,
Years have passed since we lived across the street from each other. However, I still remember George and how willing he was to help all the neighbors, especially with his truck and plow. Our condolences to you.

George and I have been kindred spirits ever since we both learned that his tractor key started mine and vice versa. George had that rare abilility to thoroughly enjoy the little things in life. Whether pruning the trees, grading the Pierce Point Road, or enjoying a cocktail with friends and family at the cottage on 3 Mile Pond, George always had the grin of a happy family man. I'll miss seeing him down here at the lake. Dianne and I send our deepest sympathies to Evelyn, Cindy and Janice.
