George was a quiet yet neighbourly presence in our street, always kind and helpful since we first moved in 2 doors away as a very young couple 40 years ago. In those days George would help us clean our gutters and we would often arrive home to find he had swept our path while doing his own. We will miss him and Rikka, and the chats we had on the doorstep, or gathered in our corner of the street, very much.
