My deepest sympathy to George's family: George
and I were close friends for many years, beginning in our sophomore year of high school.We had many wonderful times, especially playing basketball, going out to eat and dance with our wives Nancy and Jan, or spending time on cape cod. Sorry to say we lost touch just a few years ago. It's difficult to understand and emotionally process the loss of a close friend. George, may you rest in peace, but don't stop shooting baskets!
Dennis "Gus" Gurn, a long-time close friend
