Dear Ethel and family,
It is with great sadness that Tom and I learned from Mack Pong that George had passed away. We send our sincerest condolences and love. We had missed him at the past recent 407 reunions, but always remembered him fondly when the comrades sat around to recount "old war stories". You have been a "good soldier", too- taking care of him for these many years. He will be dearly missed.
Sorry that we will not be able to attend the services, but you and your family will be in our hearts and prayers
With our sympathy,
Tom and Rose Luey

Dear Commoo, Carrie, and all the Woong Family,
I am very sorry that Uncle George has passed, I will always have very fond memories of him. He was always a very caring, kind, and all-around good man. He showed great leadership and never hesitated to lend a helping hand. I know he was well-liked and well-regarded by all who knew him. I will always miss him.
Love, Glenda
