Mary, just found out about George's passing. So very sorry. I always enjoyed my time visiting with you and George at Dunkin' Donuts and bumping into you occasionally around town. He was a delightful and colorful guy. I had fun swapping John Wayne stories with him. And he clearly loved his wife! Lord bless you with peace and comfort, Mary. I will be praying for you.
