Uncle Georgie, as he was known to me, used to let me play with his wooden shoe trees where he lived in a home above the grandmother for whom I am named. I remember him making me laugh and letting me play waitress at the restaurant when I was nine years old. Some of my fondest memories and it doesn't seem so long ago. God bless his beautiful heart.

Uncle george was the last of a very special family. We loved his great sence of humor and he would remind us so much of our beloved dad. They both laughed at their own jokes. To visit with him was like looking into a family history book with rose colored glasses.
Lucky to be his neice, Cheryl Obde

George was a terrific person. He and I were good friends years ago when they owned the restaurant. You knew it would be a happy time when you were around George. I miss him and his sisters and brothers. Jock Swanstrom
