George loved spending time with his family and travel. The places George rated as "best" were San Francisco and Florida. George always wore a baseball cap. One favorite had "Ralph's Beer Removal Service - Cans, Mugs, Pitchers, Kegs" printed on it. One of his most beloved simple pleasures was going out for coffee and a donut at Tim Horton's. Please share a memory of George with his family at his on-line guest book.
