“What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget”

George, what can I say? You were such a wonderful person, always telling us stories of your escapades. You were always such a delight to be around. We were supposed to get together for a glass of wine or whatever at the Huddle, I will get my glass of wine someday when we meet again. I didn’t see you very often after I left Orchard but we would occasionally run into each other. You were such a character to be loved by so many. Condolences to Debbie and Bengina and the rest of the family. RIP my friend.
Dear Nina and family,
May the love of family & friends comfort and strengthen you and Debbie in the days ahead. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
