George loved people and shared the message of salvation to all. He loved his family and I'm sure he and Russell are sitting in that convertible..... waiting to hear the the Lord's voice sound like a trumpet!

Romans 8:28 All things work for Good for those who Love God. That is how I remember George. He would witness to patrons and co workers. We have lost 3 carriers in 2 weeks They are having a postal party in heaven
