Eve,
Yes, George seems to be from a time when an employer treated his employees like family. They weren't simply there to help the business prosper and then be changed out on a whim. I don't know if you've seen this: Deaths
RUBIN, FANNIE, but if you haven't, I'm sure you'll find it interesting. Also, have you seen the Dubrow's Wikipedia Entry?
I hadn't seen Fannie's obituary...thank you for the link.
I actually started the Wikipedia entry about Dubrow's a year or so ago. It's been added to since I did. Feel free to add anything you think might be important to include.
