Think of you often George and smile. You was the best boss ever, taught me so much. Speco... I hope all your children and their families are doing well, I know your missed by many. R.I.P.

George think of you often, miss you more. What an honorable man. Kind, gentle, good hearted. You taught me the company business, it was a pure honor to work for and with you. My heart still goes out to your family. Rest In Peace

My friend. Great memories.

George was one of those men that you always wished was your dad or grandpa. He was kind to a fault, charitable to everyone, smart as a whip, and the hardest worker any of us has ever known.

Though we hadn't been in contact in a few years, you will be missed, George, and I will always have pleasant memories of the years I worked for you. May you rest in peace, and may your family be blessed during these hard times.

Jaren and family, my deepest sympathies to you and thank you for your call today. I am honored to be counted among your friends. George was simply one of the finest, kindest people I have ever known. He lived a life that should inspire us all. I shall miss him and forever be changed by him, I am so happy for him having entered his just reward. God bless you all.

I am grateful for the life of Mr. Higginbotham. Thanks to his service and to the service of others in our armed forces, my family and I have been able to lead our lives in freedom and peace.

George, you will be very missed. Mom, Ruth LaMetterey/Meyn, retired 3 times from Drive-In and SPECO. Our family has always held you deep in our hearts. Always patient, open arms, and you even let each of us kids work for you in our younger years. So many great memories. You are deeply missed and held in our hearts. Condolences to your family and everyone's heart you touched.
The LaMetterey kids- David, Frank, Celine Burkette and Teri Harold.
