Patty & family, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time as you mourn the loss of George. We recall times together, watching your girls grow up, etc. May all the wonderful memories of George through the years sustain your family in your hearts always. Love, Tony & Julie Redente

Gigi, Wow! Just want you to know that Tab & I are thinking of you. Are families go way back. I know my Dad loved your dad and thought he was a genuine person. One of upstanding character! That is a dying breed these days. Hope all of you are at peace. Love, Sally Kingston-Hanson

Mr. Eaton was my principal at Erickson Elementary. I remember him coming in the room and teaching us the difference in spelling between principle and principal. He told us to remember that he was our principal and our "pal" and that was how we could remember which spelling to use. We always looked forward to his classroom visits.

Patty , sorry we are out of town and were not able to visit with you . I will always remember George as he rode his bike through the neighborhood and our common bond as Marines . Semper Fi Jay and Pat Baxter

I wish to extend my condolences to the Eaton family. He was principal at Erickson when we moved into the district; and very supportive when our daughter was having "new student" challenges. Erickson was always clean and neat - outside as well as inside under his leadership. He was fair and just.

George Eaton was my principal at Chapelle Elementary School when I was a new 3rd grade teacher from Amherst, NY in 1965-'66. The school was filled with positive reinforcement and real teamwork under his dynamic and caring leadership. I was fortunate to continue in friendship with his family
to this day and I will miss George very much. My heartfelt sympathy to all.

To me, Mr Eaton will always be remembered as a stern, yet fair and respected 6th grade teacher at E.S. George school. I think he worked for Mr Pete Kingston. May he rest in Peace and never forgotten.

George Eaton was my 6th grade teacher at E. S. George School. I later became a teacher at Ypsilanti High School and taught several of his children in my English classes. We met at many events over the years and always talked. I send my condolences to his wife and children. Carolyn Lucado Griffin, Ypsilanti
