This picture was taken sometime before WWII started. George's father is in the back row, his mother is seated with a baby on her lap, My parents are in the back row. In the center seated is Granny Lackman one of my favorite memories.

I would like to send my sincere condolences to your family. At difficult times like this its very important to draw closer to God in prayer. I hope these scriptures help comfort you: John 5:28,29 and Revelation 21:4. My prayers are with your family.

So many bad puns, so little time. We will do our best to carry on alone, blues brother.

George was my life-long best friend since 1943 and served as mine and Dell's Best Man at our wedding in 1962. Our son, Newman, was born on his birthday on January 26, 1968.

I worked with George at First Union and remember him to be a very noble and thoughtful man who went out of his way to help others. He will be missed.

The Frank McLane family, formerly of Tampa (now of Tallahassee), would like George's family to know how much we care that he is gone. He was a phenomenal man and probably saved everyone's life, from time to time. We all looked to him for inspiration and with pride. Thank you, George, for all that you did, big and small.

Please accept our deepest condolences.

I did not know you personally but my friend that worked at your banking center spoke so found of you that I feel as if I’ve known you my entire life. I wish I would have had the pleasure of meeting you. You were an amazing person based on what I’ve heard and read. I pray you are looking down from heaven and seeing all of your accomplishments of a full and beautiful life that you created for your loved ones. May your family find peace in this time of loss. God Bless!
