Danny, My sincere condolences to you and your brothers. Uncle George from a perspective of a child growing up was what I considered the FUN UNCLE!! From summer trips to Escanaba with the dirt bikes, Milwaukee Zoo and Great America.Too much fun to mention. He always like to entertain.The laughter will be missed. I caught my first fish as a kid with him. Actually Uncle George caught it and tied it on my line feeling sorry for me. Everyone laughed when I asked How come the fish didn't put up a fight? Great Memories that will live on forever in my mind. Rest in Peace and say HI to PATREEESHA!
