My deepest sympathies are with all of you in this time of deep sorrow. There are no words that can erase the pain you feel now, nor will there ever be anyone that could replace the wonderful person that you have lost. I will always keep very fond memories of George from my childhood on. He was always such a sweet and caring person towards those he loved. The world will be a little less bright without his smile and his sense of humor.
Sincerely Patricia McAley-Niemin and family
