George and I became friends through the Grzywinski family. I always admired his work ethic and motivation to succeed. His passion was a shock as I have not stayed in touch for many years. Godspeed George, you were one of the good guys. Love, D&G Perne´

Mike, Tony and George, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your Dad. Your Mom and Dad were great neighbors and even better friends. I sent a text to your Dad a couple of weeks ago and was concerned when I didn't hear back. I pray the peace of our Lord and Savior will be with all of you during this difficult time. Your parents were both so giving and so thoughtful. You will be in our prayers. God bless! Bill & Margi Ritter
