Oh, George, we are so sad.  But we are happy knowing you are finally with your beloved Rita!  Thank you for your humour, the twinkle in your eye, the care you showed everyone in your life, your wonderful stories, and the time we shared.  Our hearts are with you, Paul and Daniel!  Sending you strength and love...
Betsy and Michael

The first time I met George and was introduced as Sylvia, he went into quoting the poem, “ Who is Sylvia”.  Which I was not familiar with, usually I would be asked “ What did your mother say?” Paul, I know you know the reference ( Dr. Hook) Anyhow, over the years of having  many conversations with George as he would stop at the desk, to chat on his way up to Tai Chi or coming to a show at TCC, we talked about  his German roots; his family  who he had great love and respect for and on how he ended up moving down here to Clayton. In all those conversations he never failed me... quoting me with the sonnet... Who is Sylvia?  I noticed over the later years when dementia started setting in  and his conversations were a bit scrambled, that quote was something that he could always pull from his memory bank and recite with a sparkle in his eye; it was like I was hearing it for the first time. Paul and Daniel, I know these last few years have been hard for  y’all, and the long goodbye has been trying at times.  My heart goes out to the both of you and hope that you find peace and comfort in the hours ahead of you. 
Sending you both a big hug from Gam...aka Sylvia 😘


Paul, I remember the first time I met your dad. It was at Walmart in Clayton and we talked for several minutes. I remember leaving and thinking what a warm friendly man he was. We ran into each other several times after that and each time he greeted me as if I were a close friend.

You were a good son, a wonderful husband and are a great father.
