Not sure what to say?

So sorry to hear of George’s passing. I worked with George at Coghill. He was the first guy I would see on the early morning shift. I can still see the smile he greeted everyone with every day. Always had kind words and we would always share the latest joke or funny story. My thoughts and prayers will be with him.

George will be remembered for his humor, friendliness, and love of his wife and family. Being with George always brought a smile to our faces. He always had a funny story, joke, or even song to share. George was such a positive person even through the hardest of days. He and Pat have always felt like part of our family. We will remember him fondly and feel fortunate to have known him.

My fondness memory will always be when George and Pat made yearly trips to New Mexico. We loved their most welcomed visits and had the best times. George was always so thoughtful and caring. He would...

Love and prayers are with you all as George joins Jesus. Wonderful memories of George at St Matthew. Pat, I've been thinking of calling you to ask if George had picture of Christmas tree from early '50's and before. It was a real tree 20-25 feet tall and decorated with white lights, cotton and tinsel. In reading his beautiful obituary saw that he helped with Christmas tree through the years. Difficult but blessed time of year to pass. Reading back through this I see I'm rambling, sorry...

May your hearts be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together.
God’s peace to you all.
