Susan, I was sorry to hear of George's passing. I met him many years ago working at Family Video. He would come in every Tuesday for his movies and give me a "hard time" :). I haven't seen him in a few years, but will always remember him with fond memories.

Susan, our heartfelt sympathy is with you. I will never forget how much George loved the kids & his nifty gifties were always such a treat. If you need a friend you know where I am.
