Dear Maybelle,
I just happened to be on Press Connects tonight to check the obituaries and was so surprised to see that George has gone on to His final Home and rewards. I am so sorry but am confident that your faith will see you through this tough time. May you experience the warmth of His love and the strength of His comfort. You are in my prayers.
Love,

Dear Mrs. Golis,
I have many fond memories of George from the old Montrose baseball days. What a good catcher he was, along with being a team leader and always the example for all on the team.
