Ray and family: Probably haven't seen you since high school, but saw your dad's obituary and would like to extend my condolences to you, your sister, Barb, and the rest of your family. I'm hoping your dad had a good, long life, and has left you all with warm and wonderful memories. Take care.

Sorry to hear of George's passing.I'm an old friend.Gurnal Jones, who met George through fast pitch softball. I'm 89 and looking forward to seeing George again. Just call me Gurney. I left the Utica area in the late 1950's but have returned to the Oneida Lake area, North Bay, N.Y. with my wife Geraldine Knight , in 1979, for a rest. God Bless.
