Betty, Tom and Jerry. . . It is with great sadness that I read that "the mailman" passed - George was always a kind and gentle man to the six kids down the street. He always had a wonderful and smiley hello! We saw him as a wonderful husband, loving father and a great friend. "Mr. Little League" will always be in our hearts and prayes. With fondness, Lynn
