Read MoreGeorge and I were connected by his brother Bishop Arkfeld who served in Butte Nebraska, my dad's hometown. After a tragic accident in 1993 he called me and we've been friends ever since.

George is what the Jews would call a mensch. Attended his 85th birthday party; he called to invite me to his 90th and I can't believe I didn't make the time to go--just thinking this man would go on living forever. Good-bye, my friend.
