Mr. Hanson or should I say Georgie Porgie (that’s what I would call him to get a sweet lil grin out of him)
I took care of him for a little over a year @ Stones River Manor
He saw the sweetest and kindest men you could meet.

George was my supervisor at State Farm from October, 1984 until his retirement in 1991. I enjoyed working for him.
Our group worked hard and had lots of fun. We shared many laughs and good times. Prayers for his family.
