To the George Family, It has been a long time since we have seen each other or spoken. There aren't enough words to express my sorrow for your loss. As I've grown into an adult, a husband, a father, I've come to realize how much work goes into being a good man. A.J. George is one of the best men I have ever met in my life. I have tried to model my relationship with my kids and my son specifically with the way Mr. George was with his kids, and especially Shawn. As a teenager, I admired the way he treated us and the fashion that he and Mrs. George were so involved. I am saddened by your loss, and he will never be gone. All the years that have gone by, he still leaves an imprint on my life and how I live as a man and I'm sure that holds true for other people he has touched. My prayers are with you all. Mr. T
