George was our neighbor in Kenosha. During winter storms he was the first to be out with his tractor and plow cleaning the whole neighborhood of snow. The only thing he wanted for doing this was chocolate chip cookies without nuts. I was happy to oblige. He was an awesome man. RIP George.

George was long time friends with my parents from Minnesota grew up with them as teens heard many stories of them and there hooligans one of my favorite was letting some air out of the tires and riding the railroad tracks. I sent him some photos I had of him and chatted online we talked how he wanted to get back up to Minnesota to spear fish we have smoked fish every year. He tried to see me the last time and had visited my mom but unfortunately he got sick and had to return home for that was the last time he knew he could get here. Sorry we missed that chance. I enjoyed hearing his old school day’s stories, about his family and seeing his old photos. He will be missed . Sorry for your loss he was a great guy and very proud of his family.
