He loved to work in his garden and had a great talent for growing vegetables and flowers. George liked to read and was a regular church goer. He was a good friend and neighbour to all. “The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want;
He makes me down to lie
In pastures green; He leadeth me
The quiet waters by.”
