"We looked forward to seeing George during our visits to Florida. He always had such interesting stories to tell. We will truly miss him. I hope that he is once again exchanging stories with my dad Lloyd (his cousin) up in heaven. Those two sure could tell some whoppers! God bless, Connie Gottlieb"
