Not sure what to say?

George was a great man and I shared his love for Cars. George had me drive one of his old Packards I might add a very rare one of great value around the field by his house. He was in the passenger seat and his dog was between us. It was a memory I will never forget and him allowing me to drive such a beautiful car. It was an honor to know George.

I met George through a classmate and we became friends which led to me living on his farm for several years. We raised lettuce together, tinkered on his cars now and then. We shared wonderful meals together with his family. I look back fondly on those years as it was a very busy time in my life and George was a mentor, friend and teacher. His influence on me contributed to successes in education and professional pursuits. Rest in peace my friend George. With love, James

My father worked for George´s restaurant when he was younger. I called him grandpa George because he treated us like family. We also rented one of their houses for 8 years. He tutored me with math when I needed it for school. He will be greatly missed. He was a kind and a generous man, unfortunately not enough people are like that. We love and will greatly miss you George.

Maria, so sorry to hear of your father passing. He sounds like a wonderful man and father and I know he will be missed.

George was my math teacher at PCC. He was 80 when I had him as an instructor. My dad introduced me to George as he was also a teacher at PCC (welding, dept. head). Math was the most difficult subject for me and George was one of the very few teachers who was able to explain it in a way that I could understand. Later on I discovered that my former high school art teacher, Robert Douglas was in a classic car club with George. I only spent a short amount of time with George. He left an...

Thank you George for sharing your life with us, we are blessed by knowing you.

Mr. Choban was my client for over 20 years. I enjoyed our many visits and discussions about antique cars and his vegetable garden. He was a true family man that cared for his wife, children and grandchildren very much. He treated his dog, Marco, just like a child. I will miss him very much. Kim Thomas

A good teacher and a good man.
