George or as I called home Pop Pop made everyone smile whenever you saw him!He made you feel like the most special person in the room when he saw you always complimenting you and hugging you! I loved him so much!!!!! And miss him very much! My favorite line of his was, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph!" He said it many times every day!!
Love, Rory Platzer (youngest Granddaughter)
