Uncle George was a wonderful person, he always had possitive things to say to me. He could make you laugh at the drop of a hat. In any situation he could see some good come out of it. Just the way he would say things, would make me laugh. Like the time he was at our house giving his grandkids underdogs on the tire swing he fell and scraped up his arms pretty good. He told me to just slap the skin back in place and bandage it up and it would be fine. He ended up having to go to the doctor for that one too. We will miss him a lot, but we also know that he is with our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus.
Our Love is with you all,
Marty and Linda

To my wonderful Godfather, George: I will miss you very much. I was very blessed to have called you my second dad. I will always love you. You taught me so much about basketball and other sports. Thank you for being such a huge part of my life. To Helen and Keith and family: I love you guys and I'm praying for you all. I'm so sorry that George is gone. Please know that his memory will be with me forever.

It is sad to hear we have lost another railroader. He was a gentleman and fine engineer and it was a pleasure to work with him..
