Teri and I are so sorry to hear about George. We knew George and Barbara from our condo in Cape Coral. He was my favorite Democrat! What a wonderful, kind and funny man he was. We have so many great memories of both of them. He will be missed by many.

I am so sorry to hear of George passing. George was such a delightful man with a boyish smile. I always looked forward when George stopped at the front desk at Linden Ponds to talk and laugh with me. He will be missed.

To the Holland family: We are sorry for your loss. George and I were involved in Braintree baseball together and we were friends for many years. Peter played on my team and I employed Chuck during his college breaks. Both were outstanding young men and that is a testament to their upbringing by George & Barbara. I shall not forget him.
