His specialty was pitch fork fondues, at a family reunion; he cooked for over 800 people at that event. George and Dora loved dancing together. George was respected and loved by all those whose lives he touched. This special man will be dearly missed and will always be remembered for his loving devotion to family, friends, and community.
