George was an amazing man and I am so happy I got to meet him. I had the privilege of taking care of him at Concordia. He always had a smile on his face and never asked for anything. Even when he was in so much pain and required more care he hesitated to ask for help. I will miss you buddy. I hope there's sailing in heaven!
