Corie and family,so so sad on the sudden passing of your Dad.He lives on in your heart forever!
I was saddened to hear of George’s passing. I had the great pleasure of working with George for his last couple of years with the Forest Service, and I doubt if I’ve ever met a nicer man. I always looked forward to chatting with him when he was at the Paddy’s Pond office and considered him a good friend.
He will be missed by all the Forestry staff that had the pleasure of working with him.
Thinking of you at this very sad time and sending our Deepest Sympathy to all the Family.
