    WE met George in 1970 when we moved into Huntingdon Place. It was a short stay of five years but in 2003 we returned and George welcomed us again. He never neglected his yard. The big evergreen tree that he faithfully trimmed will always be our reminder of George. He was a gentleman and a gentle man.

    Sorry for your loss. I’ve known George since we did our 1st deal together back in 1975.I’m also a past president of the London & St. Thomas Association of Realtors. I looked forward to seeing George at our monthly Knights of Columbus Fish Fry at St. Justin’s Church. I think I saw him in November and had a good visit. However, sadly I didn’t see him again. I will miss George, but I know he’s in a better place. RIP George..Vince
