Betty, Tracey and I are saddened to hear of George's passing. No doubt he is enjoying the blessings of Heaven. We will remember you in our prayers, asking God to provide whatever you need in this hour and in those yet to come. May you be comforted with His peace that passes all understanding. Joe Leighton

I am sad to lose another classmate from our wonderful class of 1960, Westerville High School. George seemed like a gentle soul. Condolences to his family and friends.
