Fondly thinking of Mr. Riddle. I used to attend respite gatherings on a regular basis when the service was offered by D.A.S.C.H. Inc.. I remember attending The Price Is Right Live at Club Regent Casino with my friend (works as a Community Service Worker (C.S.W.) at what is now called Access Fort Garry)) on October 18, 2015 when Mr. (Jarett) Burdy was on duty. - Posted by: Philip (Former student of Linda Schwartz) on: Oct 23, 2021

One of my first sales with London Life to George around 1983. Great people both him and his wife. I remember meeting him to talk business at his work place on Serbrook. Always a nice person. - Posted by: Doug Bodnar (Client) on: Oct 09, 2012

As a child, I enjoyed the Saturday morning breakfasts that Uncle George and my Grandfather would invite me to attend. He always had time to listen and had an energy and enthusiasm that cannot be matched. Prayers are with the family. - Posted by: C. Wilson () on: Oct 02, 2012
