To Lucille and family, my prayers are with you all. Your husband and father was such a very nice and kind person. Mom looked forward for the cherry season as she felt that working for your parents and Martin was something very special to her. I remember the first time that mom mentioned to me that she had asked about me working, not known
to me that mom sought employment for me at the ranch during one of my summer”vacation”. I had no idea of what to expect. I remember mom saying to me that all I needed to know was what I needed be aware of and what to watch for and to do my best. I remember as George and Martin would walk by when we were working or having lunch and have a conversation with us as we had our lunch. At first , I had felt a little intimidated by their stature , not knowing them Later I was able to understand how the were always appreciative of their workers. There were a few times when we would go up to the house to purchase fresh or dried fruit and George had that wonderful smile and would ask how mom was doing. When I think of George , I can see that wonderful smile and twinkle in his eyes as we talked. What a wonderful man George was. He and his wonderful wife always SO caring and the generosity that they showed not only mom but to us . We know the loss of a father . You all are a testimony to you parents. I know that you dad is SO VERY PROUD OF YOU ALL! Our prayers for you all. We know that George will be waiting to greet us all, when it is our time. God bless you all. Mom still recalls you Niki, Julie, Marie and your girls, We love you all!
