I lived on Montrose about 3 years ago and stopped at the Co-op this pass Wednesday (April 29/15) I asked the young men at the station if George still worked there, they said no and that he recently passed away. So sorry to hear of his passing, he was always very pleasant and I enjoyed talking with him. It was so nice to hear how well liked he was by his co-workers. May he rest in peace. Gail, a customer at Co-op. - Posted by: Gail Kotowich (Met George when he worked at Co-op on Lyndsay and Grant) on: Apr 30, 2015
