Shearstown and Butlerville have truly lost a tremendous friend. Maude had the great pleasure of working at St Marks while George was teaching there.
We attended many functions and parties together. One of his many gifts was to assemble an orchestra without instruments.
Since his passing I have heard nothing but fond memories and the greatest respect for him.
He had a kind and loving nature about him when dealing with children. May his music continue through the ages.
