George Milton West

George was the kind of guy I'll never forget. We have traveled the road of life together since very early days in Laurelhurst- first as tiny classmates and then throughout the years 'til we graduated from Central Washington University. George was a good neighbor, friend and listener throughout. Occassionally in our post-college years we managed to touch base; he was always just the "right guy" at the right time. I will miss his friendly face and tales of his life's adventures. I know that his...

George was our first friend on Camano. He extended his humour and wisdom and warmth to us from the moment he met us.
He was a welcome sight coming our way in the distance with Taffy, and a welcome drop in on his bike or in his car.
We just loved his company and all the fun we had. We considered ourselves fortunate to have known him.
We wish to extend our sincere condolences to his family.

Always smiling,always postive,always willing to do what had to be done.This was George. Our sympathy goes to his family.

George was fun to work with. He was, admittedly, "Old School". His information about clients and orders came right out of a well used notepad. He, and his sense of humor will be missed.

After reading the entries in this guest book I see that everyone saw the same George that we knew at Liberty Orchards (Aplets & Cotlets). I've worked here for 21 years and it was a privilege to know George most of those years. He worked closely with the plant manager, Larry Pace, until he retired a few years ago. George drove across the mountains to attend Larry's retirement party. Then George stopped by Larry's house several times when in this area. George also came over for Larry's funeral...

To Jill and family and Dave,
George and I go back to Pee Wee league football at Laurelhurst in about 1958. After that we attended Eckstein and Roosevelt and headed our separate ways to college and the real world. We stayed in periodic yet too infrequent touch over the years but occasionally brought together by our brothers Dave and Mic. How I wish we would have had one more lunch together and one more golf game.
The great thing about George was that even if it had been years,...

I met George about 16 years ago in the packaging world. I found George to be a fair and honest man and one that was well respected by his friends and co-workers. He will be missed by many. My thoughts are with George's family during this very sad time.

I met George a few years ago in
person and since then as he passed the 12th green he always waved when he saw me. I was very impressed as to how he always recognized me and gave a friendly wave as he played the game he loved. I think that George had a way of helping a person feel better about life, themselves and things in general - a rare gift...

George and I had a joke telling exchange, every time he came into Evergreen Wholesale, during the good times and the bad ones at Evergreen, he always had a "Hey Tom, have you heard the one about", of course I had to respond no, but tell me. Then it was my turn. I am deeply sadded by the loss of a true gentleman. My prayers go out to The family. As God can heal all sorrows and help see hope, believe this during your time of grief. God Bless all of the West family
