    George sounds like an amazing man and obviously passed on many of his talents to his son, Steve, whom we admire and adore. May God bless the Gram family with love, peace and comfort as they say goodbye to George. Keep his memory alive with stories and laughter.

    With love and hugs,

    Larry, Marianne, Josh and Joe Johnson
