Dear Pavkov Family:
Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I will always remember the trust placed in me as a young teenager and I was with Ken & Russ at the many outings at the farm or at a church related activity. Even a trust by Peg, Carole, and Kathy driving the Pavkov car from wherever we traveled together. Also, as a young Elder he gave me the same thoughtfulness, trust, and respect that he gave to all people. His kindness and integrity will be missed. Remember the good times and pass on the the great family stories to his great-grandchildren! And to think Nancy is related to the Pavkov Family through the Boss Family in Copley!
In love,
Kathleen Nagy

My prayers are with all of you, his family. His love for the Lord and that same love on the part of your mother was and is an inspiration for so many of us. I will always remember them both with much love.

Dear Ken, Russ, Peg, Carol, Kathy and family,
I am so sad for you at this time of deepest loss. How thankful I am that I was able to see you all at your mom's funeral, and especially to see Uncle George and tell him that I loved him!
The joy for him is now eternal and beyond imagination as he is with the LORD, but for me it is also very personally heartbreaking to know he is gone. I visited him a couple of years ago and always viewing him as a patriarch of the faith, I asked him for a word of wisdom from his vantage point. His answer was simple, Godliness with contentment, this was his short sermon to me. Wow, Praise God for his life and how he was used by the Lord to do so much.
It is our only comfort when we say goodbye that there will be a happy day ahead, "when we meet on that beautiful shore!"
I love you all,
Pam Brubaker (Pavkov)

The memories and stories about Uncle George are too numerous to tell. But, the comfort is in knowing he is rejoicing in Heaven with the loved ones who have gone before at the feet of Jesus!

Grandpa leaves many wonderful memories. It was so hard for him after Grandma passed ("only 67 years together!"), but they are again together, worshipping at the throne of God. I miss you both but know one day we'll join you, too.

George Pavkov children - cousins!
Our prayers are with you. We grew up in the house next door and John and I lived 14 years later next door to Uncle George. Him and John became true "buddies". We will miss him. Love and hugs to you all. Janice and John

I have to smile when I think of my dear Uncle George, who ALWAYS had interesting stories and things to say, many of which I never knew. What a wide interest and base of knowledge! I am so thankful that I was able to visit him and Aunt Helen in April when I was in the US. What a blessed contemplation: he and Aunt Helen join the rest of the saints in the very presence of the Lord. Won't it be great when we are all there?

We would like to express our deepest sympathy to the family, George is at home with the Lord. Words can not express the memories I have, the times of conversation were always a real treat. George was able to have a story to share. He will not be replaced but we will have our memories.

Brother Eric and I will always have a special place for George in our hearts, especially after spending three weeks in Argentina with him. He was interested in everything and everyone. He was our daughter Kara's favorite preacher. It is comforting to us to know George and Helen are together again in the presence of God.

We will miss Grandpa so very much! He taught us how to be observant and to learn new things all the time. He was such a generous man who put his dedication to the Lord first. How blessed we have been to have had his impact in our lives for sooo many years! (There's too much to say in such a small space!)

Dear Family, we pray that God's perfect peace and comfort my be with you as you remember your father, as well as your mother. They both lived long and well, both being passionate about serving our Lord, and His people, especially those less fortunate in this life.
They leave a wonderul legacy for all of us coming behind them.
We were blessed and enriched to have known them and the impact they left on us and having served our Lord alongside of them.
May the Lord bless you and comfort you as you remember your father, and as you attempt to pass on the long and rich Christian heritage of a simple life of love and service to the Lord. We love you and pray for you. Reini and Arlene Webel.
