I and my wife Liz met George several times, as a guest of Pete and Jennifer.  One time we stayed with him and Carol at their house in North Conway.  George was always very nice to us and a fine conversationalist.  I’m glad to have learned more about him through his obituary.  His was a life well lived.

Dr. Fontaine was my childhood doctor. We were neighbors on Morris Island, as well. I have many childhood memories of him and his family.  He was a wonderful man and a great doctor. I am sorry for your loss.

Dear Carol,  
I always enjoyed it when you and George were in the water aerobics class.  It was always fun and interesting to see what George had to say on most any subject.  I always admired him, but on reading the obituary, I feel like I hardly knew him . Although I was always impressed by him, I am impressed even more learning about his amazing life.
I am thinking of you and sending my sincere sympathy at this sad time.  I hope you are well.

During the first 4 decades of my life, George Fontaine had a major and positive significance on my world. As a close friend of my parents, Genevieve and Paul, George was a frequent presence in my life.  The mention of his name would lift my heart, create a grin and make the world a happier place. Whenever George would greet me, no matter my age, he always made me feel loved and special. He had that amazing kind of gift. As long as I exist, George will continue on in happy memories of time best spent with a very special man. My deepest sympathy and love to Carol, Jeff, David, Jane, Peter and your families.
