I wish to express my deepest sympathy for the loss of your loved one. George and I were good friends in High School. He was a warm, cheerful person and we had a lot of laughs together. We lost touch with each other after high school but I never forgot about him. I had hoped we would catch up this year at our 60th High School reunion. I am disappointed that will not happen now. I know all of the people who knew George loved him. I will truly miss him.-George Karabetsos, Kenosha
