Every morning I brought the bread into Billy's, there was a warm welcome from George, with his words and the wonderful aroma of what he was cooking (which stayed with me in the truck the rest of the day). He always asked me what was going on in my life, and told me stories of his life and family. I almost feel as though I know you all. I am so saddened by your loss, and I will miss George more than I can say.
