My Wife Robin and I were saddened to read of George’s passing.
Though Robin never got to know George, I remember him as a kind and gentle person, always eager to help the Fire Department.
I am sure no words will ease your pain, and will pray our Heavenly FATHER will Comfort You all as only HE can.
In Christ alone
