My fondest memory of the Captain is one day when a sudden severe storm blew in over the lake and we all stood in awe watching him bring in the passengers from the Manitou’s, slipping by a sail boat stuck in the harbor entrance, in 90-mile an hour winds, the waves so high, you could not see the boat (ship) in-between the waves, he made it in, as everyone said “Only George could have done that!” As with everyone that knows the Grosvenor family our thoughts and prayers are with you.

In his last years on the boat it always seemed a special trip when George was along. Our sympathies and thoughts go out to the Grosvenors.

As long as we have been visiting "God's Country" (as Flo liked to call it) we have loved North Manitou - the Lake, the scenery, the beautiful weather, the history, ships and shipwrecks, the woods...but we have treasured the wonderful people we've met and been friends with. George Grosvenor was one of the great people in my life; an example for us all. It is fitting that we lost our Mother at the same of year, as they were such good friends. They both are greatly missed! Our thoughts and prayers are with the Grosvenor family.
