To the Ettien Family My sympathy to all of you on your Husband/Father passing. You will be in my prayers.
Calm and Cool Uncle George
Uncle George was always someone I looked up to and try be as calm and cool as him. Unfortunatley I did not hold up to his standards. Great man who was always just as I said cool. He looked the part on a Bike. Had many good times hunting with uncle George when i was really young. As I got older of course you do not see each other as much. But the memories were made and I will never forget my cool uncle George. Much love to aunt Sandy and the big family that they gave us. God bless to all. Kenny.
