We haven't seen George in a long time. He was always a good friend to me years ago. I am so sorry to hear about George's passing. In Grade School I remember him loving baseball & talking about it all the time, especially Willie Mays. George loved Willie.
I am so sorry that I haven't seen him in a long time. Rest In Peace, Georgie.
