Dearest Juanita and Family,
I send my deepest sympathy to you all. I will always remember George's fishing trips to South Dakota. We had many very memorable times.Especially the time I bit off Georges fishing line.....the look on his face was priceless.We had quite a good laugh about it again this past summer when he and Charlie and I were shore fishing at Elm Lake. I also have fond memories of the polker games. George will be missed by all of his family and friends. I had the privledge of speeking with George on Tuesday night. It was hard for him to talk but he seemed glad that I had called and we had a very nice visit. God be with you all during these trying times.
With Love and Deepest Sympathy,
Margie Dosch
