Love and condolences from the Desser Family in Virginia. George was a beautiful man: warm, loving,caring and seemed not to know a stranger. He is a good illustration of someone would like to know what a "mensch" is. Thank you George Greene for the many lives you touched, including ours. We are honored to call you our relation and your memory and that of your beautiful bride will always be a blessing!

Dear Renee, Brandon, and Gilah,

George was always so nice to the Detroit family. He and Sylvia were so much fun when they came to visit. Brandon, your devotion is to be admired by all generations. I hope HaShem can bring all of you comfort at this time. Renee when my dad Saul died 12 years ago, you brought me the most comfort of all my family. The Greenes of Charslston will be missed for many years to come. All my love and prayers.
