Hi Aunt Rosie. My sincerest condolances to you and your sons. (as I remember), You and George were always the life of the party. George was one of those people that made you feel happy that you knew him and that he knew you. I wish my daughter Carissa (age 13) could have known him. Love you Aunt Rosie !

Rosie and family, my mother Jennie Jew and I send our condolences and love to you. My mom has been asking about you. We had no idea you left Fort Bragg, as I tried to locate you there. My parents and I loved listening to your stories. Brenda Jew Waters

Rosie, I've always considered growing up in Firebaugh as special and unique, and you and George as next door neighbors for 15 years were definitely part of it. I have two vivid memories of George. One was out in his shop when he was showing me how he used old transformer oil as a very effective rust remover and solvent.

My sincerest condolances to Rose and the Family. It was my pleasure to have known both George and Rose during my many years in Firebaugh. They were always a happy fun loving couple in every endeavor they undertook. May George rest in peace. May his family continue to recall with pleasure their life with George.
