Not sure what to say?

Uncle George was lively with music, good humor, fun stories. He was so kind to my 94 year old dad bringing smiles especially when singing and talking to him over the phone (even the Rushville High School marching pep song) to my dying dad who was a drum major in those h.s. days. Uncle George is joyfully entertaining Heaven and angels!

George was a character but I truly loved being around him as he reminded me so much of my own grandfather. Witty, sharp, talented and sometimes a pain! He will be missed. Keep on playing George!

I am grateful to have known George and Margaret and their family while at Creekside Village.

I enjoyed our friendship. We both loved music

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well lived.
