We lived down the road from George in Monroe Center when he moved there. We enjoyed watching his yard transform into the beautiful park it became. George carved a bear for us for our wedding in 1996. We took it from Monroe Center to our next two homes, and still treasure it today. George was so kind and giving of himself. Such a fascinating man. He could never realize how many people he touched with his gifts.

Both my wife and I were saddened to hear of George's passing. We only found out today. There are so many great memories of him. Above all was his beautiful smile and the joy and zest he brought into a sometimes boring day. I was also honored to have had the opportunity to create a portrait of him. It won international honors by the Professional Photographers of America. He & I had much fun in it's creation. So nice to see the image in his memorial. God bless you George as well as his family....

Papou is one of the most interesting, talented people I've met in my lifetime from his artist work to his beautiful voice I could listen to all night he was a man of many talents. I promise to take care of your Mea, Papou! Rest in Peace.
