Andy, I was so sorry to hear about your dad. From the obtituary, it sounds like he lived a full life. That is all any of us can ask for. I know you miss him and there is a hole but it does get better. I know from past experience. Take care of yourself. Candy
Dear Andy… Mindy and I send our sincere condolences to you. You and your father were lucky to have had each other. You were a dedicated and loving son for which you should be proud. We hope you find comfort from family and friends at this time.
Millie and I send our deepest condolences to the Poulos family. As a brother Mason, and member of Day Spring Lodge #30, George will be missed by all who knew him.We share your grief with his passing
I have wonderful memories of talking with George in Day Spring Masonic Lodge. He was a good man and Mason and was very supportive when I was Master of the Lodge. The world and our lodge will miss him. He is certainly in a better place where he awaits those of us who are entitled to join him.
We’re so sorry for your loss. I looked forward to seeing your father when I worked at the Hamden Townhouse. He was such a pleasant person.
