To the family of Mr. George Assaf, I was sadden to here of his passing. He was such a quiet respectful man, going into the store he just made me feel welcomed. Many store owner's never make you feel the way George did. He truly cared for his customers, and that was just a short time that I got to know him. Never will we understand why the good leave us so soon, but we know that what he shared with so many is left in our hearts. May in someway you find some consolation after your grieving, and know that in our hearts we grieve with you. Never will there be another like George, for God makes no duplicates, just originals. He had a gentle spirit about himself, and that is what I felt every time I shopped there. his generosity and charming personality, warmed our hearts. Truly I will miss that calm spirited gentleman he was. God bless you & keep you till you see him again...

Uncles have a special role. Not being our father, they can be a friend and a supporter in a different way than anyone else in our lives. They are both a relative and a companion; one of the few people able to be both. Whether they are crazy and weird and only seen at holidays or our fishing buddy and mentor, the loss of an uncle is a particularly hard one. Their loss, however, is filled with the years of happy memories we had, and that special connection that belongs only to uncles.

rest in peace my dear uncle
