George G. Shade

Gary was my parent's neighbor for over 45 years. As with everyone living in that area, each morning, everyone knew when the morning light in the house came on that all was well. Everyone always watched out for one another. When Gary was out jogging, my dad would often see him and they would talk about the "old days" at the farm. Gary always stopped to talk to my dad. He was one of the nicest and kindest souls. After my parents' passing and my son moved into my family home, Gary was always...

George was such a great guy, friend and classmate. I knew George since I started at Brainards school in 3rd grade and we were friend ever since. We were partners in chemistry lab at Belvidere High School where we tried to add a little excitement by play a few tricks on each other that we always laughed about at the later reunions. My condolences to all of George's family and RIP. You will be missed George.

George was a wonderful guy. I always enjoyed our chats about music and his travels. My Condolences. Joe Janci

So sorry for the loss of Unkie! He was a wonderful man and will never be forgotten. Sending thoughts and prayers to Jen, Kaela and family.

Gary - Courtney and I have fond memories at your house with Aunt Elsie and the whole gang. So thankful for helping my Dad start the wrestling program for the Harmony "Stallions"(!) and taking us kids from zero experience to several league champions in just a few years. Very sad to hear of your passing and I will always remember you passing out the toys during the I-R Christmas party for all the kids in town. R.I.P. cousin and we will all meet again someday.

Very sorry to hear of George's passing. I knew him from the I-R days. Sincere condolences to his family and friends. He will not be forgotten. Rest In Peace, George.
