Dear George,
I miss your calls and all of your humorous stories regarding your life experiences. There was never a dull moment when we got together with all of our mutual friends, especially when you know who would call out to you, HA HA HA , GEORGE, YDRB! I still find myself picking up the phone to call you and reminisce about our times growing up together and I especially remember the summer of '68 on your return from Viet Nam. That was the true essence of life during those tumultuous times growing up in Hazleton. Miss you. FSK
Thank you George for all you have done. May you rest in peace. ❤️
