George was a great man and we attended the same Ward (church) in Orem, we played church sports together and went on many Scout outing together.  He came to my reception when I married.  His father, Marcel helped keep me active in the church and is one of my heros who I looked up to as a young man and then into man hood.  I love you George, God bless you.
