Dean, you look just like him. And I'm very glad I got to meet him and your mom! I can only try to ease the pain of losing him by expressing how much I feel for you and extend my full support. It is already hard to mourn a loved one, let alone during COVID. Camille, Dean and Colleen, you suffer in silence and know that I'm there for you. My condoleances to all the family. May your memories bring some solace.

A long time ago I spent a wonderful year working with George and visiting his family. These pictures brought back some fond memories of those days. It seems like life wasn't so complicated back then and that was a good thing. George was a great guy to work or have a beer with and he will be missed.
