Such sad news to hear of George's passing. Thoughts and prayers are being sent to Annie, all the family and to my friend Joyce. Fondly remember the camping trips when George and Annie would drive up for a day visit, could tell George was in his element in the great outdoors. - Edina and Dennis Klassen
