To John Baran,
No one I know has anything but positive things to say about him. George Ferris was a piller of the community, and everyone is in shock. He will be missed. What I did not know was the relationship he had to you. It makes sense now to see the concern you have for people You must have gotten it from him. You have my heartfelt sympathy.

Ron and Judu and Family,
I am so sorry to hear of George's death. He was always a great guy at the shop. Bruce went to Man's World for his haircuts most of his life. Growing up with Ron and working together at Elwal Pines was a fun experience. After the Navy Bruce continued to see Ron or his brothers for his haircuts until he passed. You are all in my prayers. Such wonderful people. George will be missed by all of us.
My Deepest Sympathy and Love,
Caroline Martel and Family

George came into our lives as our daughter Liz, married his son, Craig Ferris. We loved all the Sundays and Holidays spent with the George doing what was George's favorite thing after dinner, which was "reminiscing" about favorite family traditions of the past. We were blessed to have had those memories.
