Not sure what to say?

George was a role model for me during his entire time with us. I think of him often and am proud to bear his same name. He demonstrated tolerance and perseverance with multiple substantial health issues while keeping a positive attitude and sense of humor and spirit. I commonly key off of his humor and his elegance of words in social situations. George E Brannen, cousin

George and I lived together at Duke Universiity during Law School, after both graduating from Dartmouth College. We remained close friends all of our lives. In later years, after I retired from Motorola, I had the privilege of working with George at his law firm in St. Charles on some interesting and complex cases. We enjoyed many lunches in St. Charles and Geneva discussing strategies on cases. Very sad to hear of his passing after his many medical struggles. My wife also has fond...

My memories of the holidays and my Uncle George are intertwined. He often showed up to the Christmas Eve party with the hit gift of the year-a fun toy or game that kept the kids busy all night. And George was always playing along with the kids and having as much fun as anyone enjoying the cheer of the holiday. I'll always admire and miss George's convivial spirit and his zest for life. He's one of the funnest kids I've ever known!

Our sincere condolences to the Brannen family in the loss of your dear love one. Our prayers are as yours, that God provide his care and comfort you each day. - Ps 145:18,19

George has been a role model for me during my entire life. His commitment to excellence coupled with a spontaneous sense of humor attracted my efforts to emulate his personality. Our family would commonly visit his family during our youthful years and we've remained in contact. His positive attitude shined as a role model to all during his adult years as he faced extreme and painful health challenges. He is and will be very missed, but always remembered.

George has been a role model and an inspiration during my entire life. His search for excellence coupled with an engaging sense of humor drew me in and guided my aspirations. Our family would visit him, his parents, and brother commonly during our early years. His positive attitude and energy to prevail in health challenges radiated inspiration to others.
He is and will be so very missed, yet permanently remembered.

Peace,
George E Brannen, cousin

Please accept my sincerest condolences for your loss. I hope that words such as those found at John 6:40 bring you comfort at this difficult time. CR

George was one of my law partners in the 1970's, prior to my move to Oregon. During that time, as we worked several complicated cases together, I was privileged to know him as a lawyer and became a friend. I watched him battle his recurring health issues and was always impressed that he never gave up or gave in.
I will miss his presence in this world. My condolences to his family.

My thoughts and prayers go out to George's family. I started my legal career as a law clerk for George pre-law school in the late 80's and often think about how he practiced law to this day. I remember his wit and wisdom fondly. He will be missed.
