George was a good neighbor and friend; I am sure Heaven is a bit more interesting with him in it. I hope Ginger (his dog), is okay-he loved her so very much and I’m sure she will miss him greatly. I will make a donation to the CT Humane Society in his memory…Sending my condolences and prayers your way….
