So sorry to hear about George.We all called him George growing up.After many years i just talked to George on the internet a couple months ago.As kids and teenagers just about the whole neighborhood would meet at his house to hang out. There are so many memories.George bought a van and he must of stuffed a dozen or more people in it and go to rock concerts or just hang out.I remember when George was really young ,riding by on his bicycle throwing jaw breaker candys in the yard for a girl he liked..There are so many memories.He had many friends and will be greatly missed.My thoughts and prayers to Georges family.
