Not sure what to say?

I do not know, nor have ever heard of this man before, but I'm happy to know about him and his life. I've been an architect and artist in my life, and just reading about George makes me wish I had met him. I'm sure he'll be rememberd well, and I, even at this distance, feel the positive influence he must have had. I'm honored when I find someone with my name doing things I wish I had done. I know he will be honored and respected in death as he was in life. All my condolences and wishes for a...

I will always remember ken and Joan for all the did for our family and all of Newberg

He loved the Lord and served others willingly, a great friend and a wonderful example.

Thanks for being such an amazing generous person for all employees and their families. So many great memories!

What a great guy, humble and dedicated and always eager to lend a hand. Truly a great car guy! We showed together at Pebble Beach, that was an honor, I was in great company at a great event! Ken you definitely left your mark and proof of your existence, you will be truly missed!

He was my older cousin with a deep love of cars - which I shared. We often talked about such things and, as years passed, we enjoyed staying in touch. He will be missed by his colleagues, community, and extended family of relatives throughout the U.S.

Thank you Mr. Austin for your wisdom & vision to establish Springbrook as a treatment Center. I was there for 66 days in summer 2000 & it doubtless saved my life & provided me with a new & revived spirituality. I & my loved ones are forever grateful for what you did for us.

Fondly, Larry M

Ken and Joan have a special place in my heart. Ken cared deeply about other people. Paul Sturges and I were honored to be selected to work on special projects for Ken. One example was a battery powered fishing reel for a dentist friend of Ken's who had suffered a stroke. Another time was when Ken asked me to make a heated toilet seat for his mom. I feel that God, in HIs goodness, equipped us with memories to recall the special times we enjoyed with those we love, and I have many great...
