Tony, Kathy and family
Victoria and I send our condolences to you. George was a character for sure. Tony´s sense of humor is very much like his dad´s. I remember working at Margaretten? Years ago with Alan and George. I think we could say he was sometimes off the rails. May your memories give you comfort. He will always be there with you. Best
