I will miss George. Looked forward to sitting and chatting with him as we ate. He always had a current event to chat about and never failed to let you know where he stood on the matter. Great man, great patriot, and a super Santa Claus. The world is a little less bright without him. I expect God has put him to work entertaining the little ones in Heaven. Take care my friend and RIP.

George will forever be missed. He was the Grandad of the Dollar Tree I ran for many years.
His passing hit all of hard, he was truly family to us.
