To, Lois, Lisa, Jeremy, Steve, Jennifer, Tyler, Hailey, Sierra, Mylee, Aubri, Anjali, Erick, and Richard.  We are so saddened by the loss of George, your husband, father and grandfather.  You have all shared so many special memories with George, dad and Grandpop that you will treasure forever. George loved taking us into his Train room and running the trains for us.  He had quite a set up and it was amazing.  Jim and I always loved spending time with Lois and George and especially loved all the years that they hosted their Christmas Eve parties.  It was a very special time. Please cherish all the special times you shared with him.  He will be in your hearts, always.  Love, Lindie and Jimmy
