George and Jackie were so much fun. We always laughed so much with them. We shared great times on Myers,Kenin vacations with Robin, Charlie and Bart when they were young. The world is a less fun place without them both.
The Richards were my neighbors on Alfonso in Coral Gables. We stayed in touch up until they moved from Deland….my husband and I enjoyed visiting them several times and they were in our home in Collierville,Tn. where they even attended my husband’s Sunday morning service at our retirement community. They were both great company and we are blessed to have such happy memories of and with them. Cheryl Waters Johnson
It is hard to believe that my friend Jackie is gone. Jackie was such a special friend and along with George will not be soon forgotten. She will be remembered in her children and grandchildren. Rest In Peace Jackie.
I played many tennis games with Jackie, but we never communicated once she and George moved sorry to say. Joyce Rechtien
