To my beloved brother who handled the challenges of life with strength and dignity. He never brought any grief to anyone living an exemplary life. Growing up with him was my pleasure. Hoping today he is united with those who loved him so much.

Though all the Martineau cousins have been apart for many years, I still remember Georgie as being a most kind and gentle boy, much like Uncle George. Our condolences and prayers to the family.
