George was a very good man. During his time at Bolton High School you could see his kindness in helping young people develop to their fullest capacity. We are sorry that we cannot make the service because of a doctor's appointment that conflicts. Our thought and prayers are with you.

My condolences. George Samuel will be missed very much. He is now in a much better place. I am sure Robert was there to greet him to see who could tell the biggest whoppers and laughing about who took the best pictures at the reunions.
