Not sure what to say?

To Claudia Deb and Peter,
we just heard today. We are so so sorry.
All the good memories shall you "trösten.".
fifi and Robert

We have many good memories of George and enjoyed our visit this summer very much. Sincere sympathy to you and your family.

It is truly amazing to see just how many lives George touched. It was an honour to work beside him. Watching him coming around the corner wearing his blaze orange hunting hat will always be one of the best memories. I'll miss his stories, hunting and fishing season will never be the same. I'll miss you George, thank you for everything.

I learned what Stinging Nettle is because of George. Back in 1997 when I worked at the Nursery, we were all standing around chatting in the store, when someone said 'THE BOSS IS COMING! QUICK! LOOK BUSY!'. I scurried away and started pulling weeds in the perennial section, and grabbed a nettle! owie!! haha :)

So sorry for your loss. I wish you all much comfort and support.

Your father helped me pick the tree for our garden more
than twenty years ago. He chose well our tree are lovely. They give us interest in the winter and shade in the summer.
I never did come back to thank him, and for that I am sorry.
My thought are with you at this time.

Dear Rofners, I am truly very sorry for your loss. I met George, this year, while I was completing my co-op at the nursery. I always found it encouraging to see him working away always with a big smile on his face. I hope for all the best in the weeks and months to come. You're in my thoughts and prayers.

My deepest sympathy to the Rafner family.George will be missed by many friends, plant and flower lovers. Jack Cook

Peter and Sue, my sympathies to you and your family. I have many memories of your dad walking around the nursery from the years I spent working at the Yards Design office at the nursery.

Sincere sympathy to your family and friends.
