We have fond memories of Dr. George preaching at Trinity CRC in St. Louis, during his and Harriet's time in St. Louis. He baptized our daughter Rebekah, during the time Trinity was between pastors.

My sincere sympathy to your entire family. I have kind memories of Dr. George stepping forward to marry our son some 20+ years ago. It was a difficult time for us and the love and concern Dr. George and Harriet showed that couple made an indelible mark on their lives. My thoughts and prayers are with you in this time of grief. May the many memories you must all have of this wonderful, Christian man bring comfort in the coming days.
