Condolences to Rosalie on the loss of one of the worlds best characters. We haven't known George for very long but the impression that has been made will last a long time.George never sought to be the centre of attention, it just gravitated towards him. Farewell fellow Bowler.

From your Thursday afternoon Bowling friends.
