George was a wonderful friend who always found time to help you. He loved his family and and always had wonderful things to say about his wife, Shane, and his children. He treated everyone with great respect and he and Shane were so generous to so many organizations by opening their home and gardens for functions. His gardens were his pride and joy. George may be gone, but not forgotten.
As an aging-in-place subject matter expert and former Commissioner for the State of Iowa Department on Aging, I am gratified to see the importance of classes and events for seniors. And I am even more heartened to read of the Rides Program. Both of these combat isolation, which is a downside of aging-in-place.

It is available to anyone, anywhere on any device and is evidence-based in reducing residential injuries! Keep up the good work!
