I remember how great Uncle George was to work for when I came down to Florida for 6 weeks as a teen. He was a good guy. W/Love Mike and Anne

Sad to hear of his passing...I met George as the Chef of the old Crab Pot restaurant under the Blue Heron Bridge back in the early 1990s.
I would call in the daily produce orders every morning and he and I would always have a nice conversation to start the day. He was gracious, great sense of humor, and just a wonderful human being!
I remember one day that he stopped by the restaurant and check in with us; I mentioned to him that I was going on vacation with my wife to North Carolina. He immediately mentioned he had a cabin in the mountains not far from Murphy. George invited us to stay at his place up there for the week. He even got a piece of paper and wrote down the directions. (Pre Google maps days!)
I saw him several years ago at the South Florida fair. He was working with someone from Cheney Bros. and I was amazed he was still working pushing 80 yrs.
Such a Generous person.
He would always bring gifts around the Holidays.
He holds a very special place in my heart!
Thanks for the memories George!

Condolences to the Matter family and to friends of George. George was an unbelievable person, an entrepreneur, a family man, a businessman, a worker.

Georgie blessed many with his kindness, his wisdom, his sense of humor, his generosity, his care for others. It is these traits that will ensure his flame lasts for an eternity.

Love Judy, Chris, Karen and Phil West, St. Marys ON, Canada
