I grew up with the Mimnaugh family and have many wonderful memories spending time with George. He was always so full of energy and, no matter what we did together, it was always an adventure. He will be greatly missed and my love and support goes out to his entire family.

Dear Susie and Family,
I never knew your Dad, but I sure felt like I did. Over the years I heard so many stories about Dad.
He was a fighter and such a strong man. He fought his disease with such courage.
I know that he is now in heaven with my girls. He is also with his favorite fur kid, his wonderful little beagle.
My sympathies go out to you Susie and to your family. God give you all strength. Your Dad is now at peace and with the angels.
God bless.
Love and many hugs,
Aleta and her family xxooooooo
