I loved George. He could always make us smile if we were having a bad day at Cryovac. Thoughts and prayers to the family.
I allways enjoyed working with George .He worked good and was fun to be around also .
I have known George for many years. We lived close to each other in our early married life ,on Givens street, when our children were small. Was a nice man, and had a way to make you laugh, and always had a smile. May God make smooth the path before you in the days and years ahead. To all the family may God Bless each of you.
Was sorry to hear of my friend George passing. Our friend
Was a classmate of George at Simpsonville High School. Such a gentle soul!
