I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE WESTMOUNT ROAD MANY YEARS AGO WHEN ONE END OF THE MUFFLER OF MY CAR DROPPED TO THE ROAD. THIS CAR PASSED BY AND DROVE BACK AND ASKED IF I WAS IN TROUBLE. WHEN HE SAW WHAT HAPPENED HE CRAWLED UNDER THE CAR AND TIED UP THE MUFFLER SO THAT I COULD GET HOME. I DIDN’T KNOW GEORGE FROM ADAM. BUT THAT WAS THE KIND ON MAN HE WAS. VERY THOUGHTFUL AND CONSIDERATE. OUR SINCERE CONDOLENCES TO YOU DALE AND FAMILY. RIP IN PEACE GEORGE.
