George
Tu as été un ami, un frère pendant ces 30 dernières années. Tu m'as accueilli dans ta famille et à jouer un grand rôle dans ma vie. La vie ne sera plus pareil sans toi mais je garde précieusement notre amitié. Attendant patiemment le jour de ta relève.

Robert J. Miklas, USN.

"A soldier from the greatest generation has passed away today." George, you are now relieved from your post. A job well done fellow war veteran. We all are grateful for your stepping up to the plate when your country needed you the most. America thanks you for your service to our country in the defense of freedom. The final volley has sounded and taps is about to begin, ending a successful career as a nation´s defender. Farewell fellow war veteran.

George was our neighbor in Flemington. He was always a kind and loving man. We enjoyed bringing him his mail and grocery shopping for him because we got to visit almost every day. Those days were precious memories. RIP
