I am abroad and I was so sad demes to see George’s obituary and his passing. George was not only a patient of mine for over 40 years but became a friend. We managed to speak about travel and photography which he would always show a great deal of interest. My condolences to your family and my thoughts are with you during this most difficult time. Kind regards. Alex Zimmer - Posted by: Alex Zimmer (Acquaintance ) on: Oct 11, 2023
