George
We extend to you and your family our deepest sympathy in the passing of your father. He will indeed be missed. What a wonderful gentleman. Ted and I were reminising all the good times we had over the years meeting up with you and your Dad at Sportman's, Balmoral etc discussing which horses we liked and afterwards at various restaurants going over the results and the next days picks. It was always a pleasure dining with you and your Dad.
Rest in peace dear friend.

George,

I have such nice memories of your father being a very gentle and kind soul. He and your mom lived for you. Please accept my sincerest expression of sympathy on your loss.

Sr., you and I shared many laughs at the Mud Bug and at Balmoral Park. It was great seeing you last winter in Las Vegas with #1. You always remembered me and wowed me when you asked about my horses.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind always be at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
and rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again,
May God hold you in the palm of His hand.

A prince of a man is no longer among us.

Pops,

I can honestly say that in my 51 years on this earth, I have never had the privilege to know a man like you! Having you as a part of my life as a father figure, and of course a friend, was truly my honor. Your constant inquiries about all members of my family will never be forgotten. I will forever cherish our many years of friendship and will always hold you dear to my heart. Please say hello to Yolanda, Mary and Grover for me, and please introduce yourself to my mom.

I will miss you my friend!

With all my love!

I don't know how to thank you for the past 30 years or so. You accepted me into your family like I was your second son and you made me a better person with your kindness and words of
wisdom---something I can NEVER forget
Rest in peace--I LOVE YOU
