George had a heart and soul of gold and I will forever treasure the incredible memories I shared with him and Marie when I lived in their beautiful home in Wayne. so sorry I never got to Pennsylvania to see George but know that from heaven, he sees the loss we all feel in his presence here and send him love and light and also send Marie hugs of love and support. How blessed George was to have Marie and how blessed Marie was to have George!
