Not sure what to say?

God i Think of you and Miss you Daily Dad ! greatest Father in thd World ! Stock cars, trolling the Gulfstream, and spearfishing in Bimini ! Hardest worker n most Honest Man you"d ever meet !

To the best pop ever, my brother and I called him Corks (short for Corky). He got me involved in football at a young age at N. Miami community center. He made it to most of my games and always encouraged me to become a better player.But more than football, I remember what He taught me about life. Your name and your reputation being the most important. So many good things he taught me and never threw in the towel when I acted the fool. I so dearly miss you Dad and will see you one day soon....

George would sit in my office and just chat. I was in my 20`s and here was this developer taking the time to shoot the breeze. I was amazed. He treated everybody with respect. The apples don`t fall far from the tree.
Our sympathies to Doris and the family.

God bless you,
George Baumgartner, and your wonderful family and for the exemplary life you lived. For that, a hearty "well done" and, as Ben Franklin said, "well done is better than well said". Your legacy will live on in your children and grandchildren and in the hearts of those like us who knew and loved you so.

To the Baumgartner family :
My sincerest sympathies for your loss of your loved one. I've only known your family for a short while but my heart is with each of you in this time of sadness. May you find comfort knowing he rests with his Lord.
Love and Peace, Peggy Summerhill

George,
You left your mark on Gainesville. I personally enjoy one of your legacies everyday. My home in your development, Emerald Woods. You created large lots and you left in the trees for the neighborhood to enjoy. Thanks George. Another great job by a man of many tributes.

My sincere condolences to Goerge's family.
