God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. I will remember him coming to salon for a haircut, saying the wash/ shampoo part is the best part! He was a nice, pleasant man, friendly, with a smile for everyone.

Bennett family,
I am very sorry for you loss. I will be forever grateful for the time I got to spend with George, whether it was taken a trip to Erie to visit or working the summers learning the trade that he was a master or just a weekend hanging out having a BBQ those memories and life skills will live on forever.
May his spirit will live on forever among those he has touched during his time with us.
God rest his soul.
