Dear Flores Family, I'm so sorry to hear of the loss of George. I worked with him back in the early 90's at TMP.We ran the welders together. Such a sweet and gentleman. He always shared his candy especially the Werther caramels. Through our conversations, he always expressed his love for his wife and children. I realize he had a tough time dealing with his diabetes but it didn't stop him from coming to work and doing a fine job. I remember giving him many pep talks and sharing my love of the Lord with him. Know you were truely blessed with Jorge and he loved his family. May God bless you all and comfort you at this time. He is remembered.
