Jeff, I was so sorry to see your Dad’s obituary in the paper today. I have never forgotten the good times I spent with your family and how welcoming George and Mary always were to me.
I have never forgotten George giving a great summer job to a a college kid at Modern Tool. I worked 2nd shift so I made great money and was to tired during the day to spend it. I graduated from college in the mid 70’s, the economy and the job market was horrible. Even though things were slow at Modern Tool when George learned I was pumping gas I was working at Modern Tool a week later. I swept the parking lot a couple of times, but I was able to go back to school and ended up with a good life because of it.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope good memories help you all through the tough times. Please let me know when the remembrance is I would really like to pay respects to your Dad. I am smiling thinking of my good memories of your Dad.
