I'm so sorry I was away and unable to express my sympathies in person and be there to say my final goodbye to Uncle George. He'll always be a special part of family memories and sadly missed at future Gatherings of the Clan. Please know our hearts and prayers are with you all during this sad time.

With love,

To all members of George's family-My heart and prayers are with you all-he was another "Dad" to me and I will miss him terribly. I have so many fond memories of times spent having conversations with him and always fondly remembered the fried dough he used to make. My family members join me in offering their sympathies to you all and offer the hope that your memories of him will bring a smile rather than a tear.
