Not many men could come close to being the person you were... You truly were one in a million. I will never forget how you taught me to refinish furniture, My Grandson still has...

To my dear uncle George: My world was made all the richer for your presence. You and Mary were second parents to me and I loved you dearly.

George was such a blessing to our family. He was the best son-in-law, brother-in-law, and uncle to all of us and we will cherish him always.

To the family and friends; I offer my deep condolences to you. In the spirit of the Apostle Paul, we read: "For all things I have the strength by virtue of him who imparts power to me." Phillipians 4:13

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

Uncle George,

Thank you for all the fond memories of fishing and relaxing! You were always full of energy and spunk. We will miss you!
