Sorry to read about the death of George. I knew George and Maryln when they lived in Sterling VA. They were good friends. They loved their children and were involved in sports and activities with their family. The last time I saw George he was cutting the lawn in front of his home in Sterling Park about 1987. He was always very nice, pleasant and friendly. My condolence to all the Children and G.Children and others.
