George has been an Uncle to me and friend. He will always be in my thoughts and heart forever. Janice I remember the girls only weekend at the lake house when George was calling all our cell phones to talk to you. George was the only guy who couldn't stand to
be parted from his beautiful bride. Now George and Magoo are in heaven with Dad and Jerry watching the Bears go to the Superbowl this year....
