So sorry Michelle for you and your family.
Sharon and family, so sorry for your loss.
I worked around George one summer at Vinings. Never a dull moment. Funny guy. Even later on, I’d see him in a loader doing snow removal, and he’d always wave. Good guy…
Sharon, Blessings and prayers to you and the kids.
