George was the real-deal ... authentic, loving, caring and willing to give himself away to benefits others. He was such a strong support for me in the work I was doing years ago among the homeless and poor. And I will never forget the silent love and care he expressed to me the day he simply showed up at the back of the funeral home ... miles away from his home ... at my dad's passing. George Michaud ... a name to be proudly expressed upon my lips. To the family, my sincerest condolences and prayers of comfort and blessings sent to the Lord on your behalf.
