George Sparks was a good man. He embodied what was good about mankind and what semms to be vanishing from our society. In the generation of “look out for number one”, George was a shining example of fairness, equality, and justice. He would rather short change himself than someone else. He hard a hard life in so many ways, But now he is at peace and happy. Rest in Peace Goeroge. You sure have earned it.
