Many happy memories of George, a great husband, father and friend.
His involvement and dedication with the neighborhood kids was remarkable.
What stands out most was his time at the Artisans. He planned outstanding venues such as annual Ocean City trips which included so many fun things to do for the whole family, Hershey Park and Christmas parties just to name a few.
The Artisans has not been the same since his retirement.
We will miss you George and Thank you!
