George-

You had a smile I will never forget and a laugh that was contagious.

At various times over the years while I've been sitting at a type writer I have often thought of you, George. Back in the day at Lu-tek, over on Ward Rd, and one of my first days working for Mary Lou I remember what you said. "Well, heck Melissa , I hope we didn't hire you for your typing skills!" So from time to time I sit typing and laugh!

Thanks for all the other great memories too.

"No excuses", right George?!

May you get all the great tee times way up yonder in the sky!

My Brother,

I wish I could have done more to lift your burden and ease your way. My heart aches for our loss. Our lives as brothers will help to comfort and will always be full of joyful memories to me. I love you George and I always will.

Love, Mel

Hey George, while our friendship was short we were truly blessed to have had the opportunity to know you. When we meet you and Mary Lu it was as if we had known you both for a long time, we all just clicked. James enjoyed so much his talks with you, sharing hunting and golf stories. You will be missed immensely.

Dad,
Thank you

Hey Uncle George, this is Colin. That moment was one of the hardest things I have ever been through, I was so very happy that I got to spend your last moments with you. It was hard to think of something to say to you, but when I racked my mind over and over, it came to me;I love you Uncle George. Through my life I found it hard to talk to you about things. You are a very proud man and I have always known why. I remember bleaching my hair platinum about five years ago, and I was told by more than one person that they had mistaken me for you, from behind. This thought made me laugh. Actually several people got a kick out of it, even you if I can remember! :)

I guess looking back, and what I am trying to say is;Being mistaken for you is a great thing. I think now I would be as so lucky to have the character, and ethics you had. I know now what hard work does for someone and you always impressed that on me. I may be better looking uncle George, but you have me on character.:) I know you are smilin' down on us up there, and whenever I go looking in the fields for my golf ball, which I often do, and find one that isn't mine, I will think you put it there for me. I love you Uncle George,We will miss you always.

George; how fortunate we were to have known you and your positive attitude and great sense of humor. You always welcomed us as family and not just friends. Who will carve the turkey, even though you always tried to get out of it, and who will guard the house and stir the soup? You will be greatly missed, but our memmories will be forever cherished. Thank you for being in our lives, Lovingly, Leonard and Myrna

George, our golf games will never be the same without you being there. Our lives will also have an emptiness without your friendly, smiling, humorous and caring presence.

Thank you for years and years of friendship....our lives have been truly enriched throughout the same. Please say some prayers for us while you sit up there and watch us stumble through life. And get us a tee time for when we get there to celebrate eternity with God and you.

You're the BEST! We love you!

We knew him as Ferdie,the cool older cousin that teased us when ever he seen us and he always had a joke or story to tell. I will always remember at his wedding being the flowergirl and thinking they looked just like Barbie and Ken. We will miss him.

Uncle Ferd,

As I said to you on your last day here with us, Sol and The Girls and I will always cherish the memories we have of celebrating holidays with you, watching Bronco games, endless talks about business, and along those lines learning how you so respected an honest days work.



We appreciate all you and your family have done for us, and I personally will never forget the moment we shared when I told you I loved you and you understood so well this setiment in your final moments.



Only second to the birth of my children was this most moving moment. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have the time I wanted to share with you those thoughts and more importantly your face reflected my memories back to me. I love you deeply. Your niece Valerie
