Eva, Maria, Lisa Bryan,
So sorry to hear about George, I didn't realize he had become sick until Bryan mentioned it last week. We always had a lot of fun with him and will miss those times. He even made moving him and Eva into their knew house an experience! Very well written obituary, it highlighted just what a person can accomplish in a lifetime.

I'm so sorry to hear of George's passing. We and a group of our friends spent many weekends playing flag football in the Brickyards. Though we lost touch after high school, we recently became Facebook friends. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family.
