    George, Uncle George to me, was always near to me in heart... he was a good man and knew the Value of Family. I loved his phone calls when he needed help with his PC or printer - it allowed us to get to know each other in recent years. I was lucky enough to enjoy his Black Raspberry Wine and Black Raspberry Jam on multiple occasions! The world is a colder place because he is gone...
