    George will be missed by so many. He had a wonderful personality and always greeted you with a smile and a funny word when you saw him. Our family always enjoyed his visits and we loved hearing him and my grandmother speak of the "good old days" when they were growing up. He had a big heart and a loving spirit. I know he's resting with the Angels watching over him. He was a true GEM !!
