May God's love give you comfort at this time of loss. George was a wonderful neighbor and will be greatly missed. In the years we had lived next door to each other,whenever we spoke,he always had positive things to say. It was a joy to talk to him. I'll miss seeing him taking his daily walks. I would often kid him that he could get down town faster by walking than I could driving my car. May each of you find comfort in the memories.

So sorry to hear the news on George. I knew him a long time and often chatted about boxing with him. More recently I would pass him walking of a morning. My thoughts are with the family.
