I grew up with George and his family as next door neighbours on Featherstone Drive in Urbandale Acres back in the mid 60s. George purchased his first of many motorcycles and we went on many "rides" together much to the chagrin of his mother. I have fond memories of those early years before we both moved on to different careers. My sincere condolences to George's family at this most difficult time!

Diane, Adam, Jason - I am so very sorry for your loss. A huge thank you for allowing me the opportunity to spend some time with George and all of you on Monday night. You should take comfort in knowing that your love surrounded George and allowed him to be in peace at home. He will be truly missed but will be forever in your heart.

Ma Tante Diane: Please know that we are thinking or you, Adam and Jason at this sad time. I will always remember Uncle George as a quiet, but funny guy - one of the best for sure. Sending lots of love, good thoughts and prayers.

My sincere condolences to the Rego family. I have never met Mr.Rego but from what I have heard he was a great man and proof of that is what is sons have become. It takes a good father to make good fathers.
