Dear Kay, George & I just heard of George's passing. It was just a year ago that you were boating & he was riding in the golf cart with Charlie. We are so sorry to have missed his funeral. He was an extremely likeable man who really loved his boating. The two of you always had your wonderful boat rides to Mr. T's and After the Fox. He will truly be missed. You are both in our prayers.
