We’ll start gathering at noon, with shared remembrances at 1pm, followed by a potluck picnic until 5pm. Please bring photos and stories of George to contribute to a memory book and any mementos you may want to add to an altar for the family to keep. You will also have the opportunity to write a letter to Nova about her father. Please feel free to bring a drink or finger food to share. In memory of George’s generous late night offerings at many events over the years, we will also have a grilled cheese station set up and provide bread and cheese with gluten free and vegan options. In honor of George and Joanne’s commitment to reducing waste, we’re asking that everyone bring their own plates, cups, and utensils and plan on packing out any leftover drinks/food/trash upon leaving the park. Wear your favorite Sunday outfit, whether that’s flip-flops or fedoras. George would want you to come in whatever feels most comfortable for you, easy breezy! The family has set up this memorial page to collect memories of George. You may also make a donation to support Joanne and baby Nova. https://fundrazr/campaigns/3pNYe/ab/e3me89?
