Linda , Brandon, Benjamin, and Cash family

We are so sorry to hear of George's passing. He will be missed by many. He was a big man ,with a big heart and the personality to match. When George came to play ball he brought talent , family , and fun . I feel that I was blessed by having George as a friend, I have never met a couple that were more proud of each other and their family than George and Linda . George was much to many . He was a son, a brother, an uncle, a friend to many, most importantly , a loving husband , and proud father. May the love of your family ,your many friends , and your faith comfort you. God bless .

Linda,
Words can not express how much i mourn for your loss. George was an amazing person with an impeccable sense of humor, and he always joked on me about anything and everything. I will miss him, but I will always cherish the memories I've had with him. Going to the bowling alley just wont be the same without seeing him there. You let me know if you need ANYTHING.

Linda ,Brandon, Big Ben, My family and I send or deepest condolences and sorrow for your loss,I enjoyed many hot and cold evenings on the sidelines during football with you and George, we always had something to talk about he will be missed by all, I know that no words can take away the pain and sense of loss your family is enduring, but you will get thru this with the love and support of your family, friends and faith. Remember George is in a better place looking down on you. He's probably hunting a trophy buck right now, or bowling. The Lemon Family's thoughts and prayers are with you, you will always be part of our extended family.

Linda,
My heart goes out to you and your family. I know the pain and emptiness you are feeling, they say time heals I am not sure if it does. I know you will find comfort in family and friends but the biggest comfort is the wonderful memories of your life together with an amazing man. Knowing that George touched so many lives you will find some since of peace. George was a dear friend when Trey passed; he always greeted me with his wonderful smile and kind words which I will miss so much. I remember when he met you and he would talk about you all the time and I could tell by the way he talked about you he had found his soul mate. He loved you and his children very much. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.
