My condolences to the Palmer family on your loss. During my tenure working in Vauxhall, I really enjoyed my visits with George. I think he was proud to have “official” conversations with me when I was the Peace Officer there. I often felt like George liked having me on his side! Rest in peace.
WE are so sorry to hear about George He was always ready to tease me and give me a bad time. I am sorry this is so late but this is the first I have sat at my computer. I have been very ill for the last 6 weeks. We loved you folks and working with you. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and love.
