If all the world is a stage, George showed us how to play it with class in every way. Obviously he is at it already working above the scenes getting Killington open before Sunday River. If prayers are indeed answered all is well, and the best is yet to come. We were lucky to have an extra dad. We thought of him every day, and always will. Biff and Cyndy
Hi Ken and Joyce, this is Danny. I worked with you on the ski patrol at Pleasant Mountain – Shawnee Peak back in the 70’s. I used to stay with my Uncle, Dal Franklin. I’m sorry to hear of your Dad’s passing. I haven’t been on skis in almost thirty years, but I will be sure to enjoy walking in the woods this winter with my wife and recalling all funs times we had on the mountain. Please know that my thoughts are with you and your families. Sincerely, Danny Dubravsky
Brenda and family – our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of loss. Lucy Koss and family

Dear Bellevue family, I was so saddened to hear of George’s passing. I remember meeting George and Theresa when I wanted to rent the second floor Apartment at Bates St in Danvers. It was kind of funny, I remember that Theresa had asked if my previous Landlord would give me a reference. I wasn’t sure how to answer that as we had some difficulties(to put it Mildly) with the previous landlady’S son. I tried to explain it in a nice way but there was no nice way to put it. George asked “what was your landlord’s name?” When I told him, he said to Theresa that there wouldn’t be a need for a reference.(He was well aware of the reputation of this person and their son) We enjoyed living on Bates St up until the time I bought a house In Salem. I was relieved to Hear That Joseph PenneLl wasn’t hurt in the Danversport explosion. Again, my most sincere sympathy for your loss. Jeff Cook
We just learned of George’s passing and are greatly saddened. As a former neighbor, we enjoyed many great conversations with George and Theresa, their friendly neighborly ways and always smiling faces. Our hearts are with you all through this difficult time. We were blessed to have known George. May you find peace in these difficult times, and celebrate the life and many rich memories that George provided to all whose lives he touched. God bless you all.
