Just learned this news. So sad. George was a friend of my Dad's and my family. I remember many wonderful times with him and Shirley and remember his daughters. I remember many times snow and water skiing with him. I greatly liked him.

My heart fell condolences to Debbie his daughter. I know Bridgette his daughter And MARK and the rest of the Oakley family for.
