  • Thank you John, we know what a great friend you were to dad over the last few years and appreciate your support to him in his end days, from acting as his taxi taking him to the cafe to being there in his last moments.

George was a good friend to my father and then a good friend to me in the following years. Always had a good word for people and always willing help if he could. It was an honour to have known him.
