George was a such a fine person, and my family will remain grateful for how he treated our mother Gloria Buzzell when they were both in Applewood together. Mom enjoyed his company, as did we. He was one of a kind for sure.

Our family will never forget George nor ever stop being grateful for how he befriended and treated our mother, Gloria Buzzell. George was so gentle and kind and as our Mom`s dementia worsened, George never stopped being her friend and always looked out for her. There are very few people in the world like George. We are honored to have known him and to have spent the time with him and for all that he did for our mother.
