George (Moo) It’s been many years since we all lived together in Garfield Park, but remember those who were our friends. I was sorry to hear of your dad’s passing. How blessed that he lived many years and that his life was a testament to his love for his Lord. I pray you are surrounded with love and support and precious memories at this time.

George, Sharon, Jimmy and family. So sorry for your loss. Your dad was an amazing person. I always admired his adventurism when it came to business. Funny,but one thing sticks out in my mind was his homemade horseradish. Nobody else could come close to his. He was a very kind man.
Prayers for all of you.
