i am sorry for the loss of your loved one. If this is George who worked at the "Sanitary District" I want to say he was one of the kindest, sweetest fellas. He gave me tickets to see The Pope at the Cathedral when he came to Chicago. George was always there to answer a question, help with a problem, just a very nice guy, shall not be forgotten. His son was a summer worker and also a lovely boy. May his memory be eternal.
