Too many memories going back too many years- 53 years ago when you wired the pool; so many happy Sunday gatherings at that pool,so many have passed on to that Dedham reunion above, still working, open to all. So many learned to swim- great grandchildren now enjoying it. Lots of cribbage games with the boys after Henry had left us.You were always there for us, and for me after he was gone.You were a rare gem- a true friend and I have missed you. Now you will truly have the rest you earned- in Peace, George.

To the Fahey Family
George was the ultimate straight shooter. He said his piece without regard for naysayers. His word was his bond, take it or leave it. A good pal, a wonderful golf companion….simply a good man.
Rest in peace,
Stephen Clifford
