My deepest condolences to the family of George.Over the years my family had many opportunities to work with George and to say that he was a Master Plumber doesn't even cover all of his skills completely. George provided us with "in the field" reviews of our products that always included constructive ideas for improvements. We highly respected his input and professionalism.George will be deeply missed by everyone he came in contact with during his long career.God bless you all and I am sure that God already has him working on some "projects".Sincerely, John Frost Jr. and the rest of the Frost family
