Sue & Family,
George's love for his family was always evident. There was always a glimmer in his eyes when he spoke of any one of his cherished grandchildren. No doubt his family was where his pride lied but also in all that George did, from his job to his outside responsibilities to his friendships. George was a truly honorable, lovable man and his presence will be sorely missed as will his laugh, his wealth of knowledge and his deep dedication to all he did.

SUE,
Buddy will be missed, he was a kind, caring man. We had many conversations about your family, work and the community he lived in and served as a public official. There was a common thread and that was he loved his family as well as his fellow man!
He had a strong commitment to the ELCO School District and the employees he supervised. Buddy was always concerned about the safety of the students. He was not a supervisor, he was a mentor and a strong leader. He would not ask his employees to perform a work assignment that he would not perform himself.
Buddy will be missed by everyone he was associated with. His family will surely miss him, but Sue you will always carry him in your heart as we all will.
I will miss the smile and mischievous look in his eye when he would share stories about "Doc" a common friend.
Sue, our thoughts and prayers will be with you.
