George & Faye,
What a beautiful blessing to know you both and be loved by so many.
George enlighten my life so many years ago… just being his kind self with Don at his side to help Fred and Vivian with what ever job was on the horizon. George always made things happen in business and in his life. I have been so blessed by his quick “can do attitude “
So many years ago. Hummmm, 1979.
I am a painter today because of George and his willingness to help when the need arises.
As George crosses over many others he has touched along the way will welcome him on this journey.
What a fine gentleman and scholar.
I am honored to have spent time under his achievement and care.
Thank you for teaching me…
Humbled and honored to be a part of his business and life.
