Miss you Great Grandpa, We love you so much💙
; you may be gone from my sight but you are never gone from my heart.
I lived down the road from George and Bert for 34 years. I have many fond memories of hanging out in the barn with George and Larry at milking time, and of stopping in at the woodpile when Larry and Mark were working the pile down. George will always be alive in my memory.
