I will miss you Uncle George. I fondly remember our families every weekend at Wilmington especially you playing softball with us or just kidding around. It was a fun and favorite time in my life. Say hi to my dad for me and I like to think you two will be playing softball again. My sympathy to all your family.
Love, Rich Thomas

We are so sorry for your loss. George was a great man and one of the kindest people I have ever met. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Peele, Keller, and Farber families during this difficult time.
All of our love,
Tony and Kristin Pape
