We will miss our dear friend beyond what words can say. We will cherish the memories and the roads we walked together, the suns we’ve seen and the joys we gathered along the way. George, Emmy, Ken and I (Marion) have had some wonderful times together over these many years. George & Ken ..Life Partners!!! (inside joke). Ken made a promise to George when we came from Florida to say our final goodbyes in mid March, and that was that we would never lose touch with our dearest friend Emmy. We celebrate your life George. Love Marion & Ken - Posted by: Ken and Marion Reive (friend of 60 years) on: Mar 28, 2019
