George, I was your neighbor for 17 years and I miss you! Every morning the same routine. I open my blinds-look over at your house and say Good Morning George. I always think about our talks. You had tall stories to tell, and I had tall stories to tell. We would always try to out do the other and end it by laughing our heads off! Miss you much. Pat

George - The Greatest Story Teller I ever knew or will ever know again...whenever you visited our family, it was like a breath of fresh air. You charmed the birds with wit and that sly little grin - men and women both couldn't help but fall in love with you. We are so blessed to have had you in our lives - Love You Always - Donna and Jim - P.S. The only man I ever knew who could hunt and camp all week and still look like he'd just stepped out of the shower!

Wow! George, I will miss you. Your turn-head smile without laughing, I saw that at Linda Brock automall from the day you took charge: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3p9Ko6sGS5E yep was like it. The last time I saw you was at a cafe in Payson, sorry before I knew or remembered you I ran out after your White ford, but to late you left an turned. Forever I will remember that smile. Hey say "Hey" to Dolly for us, tell her to keep her powder-dry!
