Dear Joanne - The memories of all the good times that Jerry and I shared with you and George over the years since we met in 1988 on Amelia Island come flooding back at this very sad time. My heart is heavy, but I am very thankful that I knew George and proud to call him my friend. He will be missed very much. My condolences to you and your family. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Love, Donna
George Walter Templeton
