I’m so sorry for the loss of this wonderful man who loved and cherished his family — a family who always enjoyed and valued him. May your memories keep you strong.

I worked for George for three years. I saw him Wednesday and knew it would be my last time. He was a joy to work for also his wife who I was with when she passed away. Thank you Riodan Family for allowing me to be in your lives. Phyllis Duncan/Care Giver.
