Not sure what to say?

George was my brother-in-law, and we experienced many interesting adventures together and with his soulmate Judy. While living with us in the 60's, he saved my son Mike's life by stopping blood loss from an arterial wound in his arm. I admired his tenacity in collecting rocks for his stone wall. He performed weddings in a canoe, a balloon and an all-wheelchair wedding. He was a good friend and regular visitor to my brother Ron. He was a loyal son to his parents.

Magistrate Parker was one of the most kindest and compassionate officials in Washtenaw County that I had the privilege to know. He was neons ahead of his time in regards to social affairs pertaining to the community and the advancement of humanity. Job well done...rest in peace my friend.

S0 sorry to hear of the passing of my good friend George! I have so may fond memories of our deeds and misdeeds over the years.
My sincere condolences to you both,Judy and Andrew. I just have to believe he was a super Grandpa too.He truly will be missed by us all.
May your Spirit Soar old friend!

"George and Judy" (their names were always like one word to me growing up) were my parent's good friends for as long as I can remember. "Uncle George" had the best smile and laugh. I have such fond memories of him as a happy, warm and kind soul. He was there for me with advice and generosity over the years that truly demonstrated the gifts God had given him. I am thankful to have been touched by his light. My prayers are with him and his family.

George was my brother and life long friend. Being only 14 months apart in age we shared so many fun adventures together. He was the sweetest and kindest person ever. He always reached out to those in need and was always there if you needed a hug or support. His zest for life helped him tackle any job or project without a thought that it could not be accomplished or that it might end in disaster. He always amazed us with what he could do whether it be a beautiful, authentic Irish stone wall...

When a tyke, I boarded the Dixboro School Bus in the 50s and George was a passenger accompanied by his golf bag and clubs. Later he advised me to file a Small Claims Lawsuit when my apartment manager did not refund my damage deposit. His advice was sound and appreciated. I had been asking about George recently. Now, he's holding court above. Praise God!

Sorry to read of George's passing. A former client.

So many great memories of George from the times he and the rest of the family came to visit us during summers in rural Ontario through our adult lives which developed in different directions but within which there was always a link. A welcoming smile and a firm handshake whenever we met —- and an instant connection to family. My thoughts are with Judy, Andrew and all the family at this time.
