Prayers For Mr. George Chevallier

I am one of the very fortunate people who have enjoyed the pleasure of an incredible friendship for so many years with an incredible man.

George has been delivering Historical Posts for many years here on Salisbury News.

Unfortunately, George has been under the weather and is facing a difficult journey with cancer. 

I can tell you, George has delivered more than 250 Historic articles in the Salisbury and Wicomico County area every single week. 

When we started with George, our slowest day each week was Saturdays. George was kind enough to offer his historic information and he wanted Saturdays. The next thing we knew, Saturdays became just as busy as week days, all because of George Chevallier. 

His input has drawn in so many people who used to live in Salisbury who chimed in with extensions of their experiences and memories and George has always enjoyed each comment. 

Please let George know how much YOU appreciate his service to our communities.

George we look forward to your articles and your memories of how it used to be. I remember you from Wi-Hi and Goldey Beacom. "Older than we once were but younger than we'll be."

I so enjoy reading his articles. Some bring back memories...some inform and enlighten of Salisbury's past. Thank you for your hard work all these years. Sending prayers for healing, love, and light.

Cancer is such an ugly disease. I have lost my father, and my daughter is about to lose a friend. My hope is that Mr. George kicks its butt, so that I and so many others can continue to enjoy his posts. It is Mr. George's posts that bring me here each Saturday. I enjoy reading about how Salisbury used to be. Mr. George, you are in our daily prayers.

I enjoyed meeting George when he bought a local item from me on eBay. I chose to deliver it, since I was close by. I ended up spending about an hour talking, and looking at his collections. George, my prayers are with you for a speedy recovery.

I don't have to tell George of his wonderful work on the past. In fact this old farm boy would be very disappointed if I missed any of his articles of a blast from the past. Thank you again George and look forward to many more of your history encounters. Thanks Sam Smullen

George, I have truly enjoyed all the articles and really looked forward to reading them each week. I called you one day and we spoke of some of this and we realized we had attended school together (my husband and I) back in the day. We are praying for you now and believing God to take care of any pain and suffering you may be going through. Thanks again...

My prayers are with you George and really hope that you can beat this horrible disease. I go back many years of knowing George, his sister as well as his Mother and Father. I rented from his Grandfather when I first moved to Salisbury at 214 Truitt Street and started my family of three children. I also knew George later in life when he worked for H. B, Kennerly Co. in Nanticoke so I have had contact over many years. George has always been a great collector and has told many tales of past history. I wish you all the best for a complete recovery and know you will fight this with a strong will. I could tell many interesting stories from my long standing relationship with his Grandfather, Mr. Albert Dishiroon.

God Bless you George and we all are praying for you. I met you twice personally once at one of your neighborhood barbecues, and once over at St Andrews Church when you came to talk about items from our past, collectibles. You are a great historian Delmarva's own.
