I knew George for more than 50 years. He was a gentleman in all ways. After having him work on my house, I never allowed anyone else to do the work. He was not just a “jack of all trades,” he was a “master of many.” I will miss my friend but I believe my late wife, Judi, was at the gates waiting to welcome him. My sympathies to all his family.
Thank you. I know he always enjoyed himself when visiting you.
My deepest condolences to Todd and the entire Appel family. Just know you are in my prayers and thoughts always.
