We know we are among many who loved and admired Uncle George. His memory will always bring a smile. We're so glad we got to spend time with all of you in May and wish we could be with you now. We're thinking of all of you who loved and knew him best with deepest sympathy and lots of love. Tracy, Adam and Stefan (who will forever have quarters in his ears. Uncle George was the only guy who knew how to get them out.)
