To the Fiske brothers: Your dad and mom were very special friends to my parents. I appreciate everything George did for my dad when dad was sick. My kids loved George and Theresa; they were like an extra set of grandparents. My love to you and your families.

Sorry to hear about George's passing. I have not seen him in many years. I worked with him at the Forestry Department in Arcadia back in the early sixties. Really enjoyed working with and learning from him.
