To Mac & Family,

We are so sorry to hear of George's passing. Many fond memories over the years. One in particular was Christmas day 1981, George was under the Christmas tree with Melanie, she was sure George was Santa Clause. George's heart was always in the right place. We are so fortunate to have known such a great man. George may you always walk in sunshine and Gods Love around you flow, for the happiness you gave us, no one will ever know.

I've known and loved George for years. He was at my first wedding and when my daughter was born, he picked her up and she looked so small!! Big man, big heart, loved by all and will be missed. My sympathies to his wife and Rebecca and other family.

Dear Marilyn, Rebecca and Bill,
I want you to know that your husband and brother was a special person to me. He gave me a pet name that only he called me...Mariete, and always called me that. George was very kind to me all the years I have known him, which are very many ('70's, oops, dating myself...). He offered advice and made me laugh. I send you my love at this most sorrowful time and know you ,and George, will be always in my thoughts and prayers. I send you my Heart Energy to help you all through your grief. Love, Marida Osborne

Becca...So sorry to hear that your "big" brother has passed..It would be hard for me to think of George without thinking about his protective "shadow" over you back in the old days...I am sure this will be a very difficult time for you and, I just wanted you to know I am thinking of you, as I do quite occasionally anyway. Take care and, please extend my condolences to Randy when you see him as I know he was very close to George too.

Broken is the family circle, my loving brother George has passed away,
Passed from this earthly darkness into a bright and perfect day.
But we all must cease to languish and remember all the love,
I know some day we'll meet him in a better world above.
All my Love,
Rebecca

"Georgie Porgie" slipped away into the pages of our childhood archives. He, his brother Bill, Mom and Dad were upstairs neighbors of ours. I haven't seen him in years but that does not lessen the memories and the loss. God bless and attend to the family he leaves behind.
