Dear Barbara,
Julie and I were saddened to hear of George's passing. He was an incredible person who touched many lives. It seems like yesterday that we were all together at a Shell Oil function.
George, you, Kim and grandchildren will be in our prayers. You have our deepest condolences.

I met George when he played golf with Buzz at Quinnatissett. He would alway bring sweet bread when he came, god I love that stuff. He had a big heart and was a real gentleman. George will be in my thoughts and prayers.
