To the family of George Martin:  I knew George for many years while patrolling the streets of Richwood as their Sergeant.  I had many great conversations with George.  He was great in keeping our streets and green areas free of trash.  I told him many times thanks for being a great citizen for our town.  I will miss George....He was a great man.  Fly High George....
