We continue to keep your family in our prayers. George will surely be missed by many far and near. Although we live in Illinois we did have the opportunity to spend some holidays with George and his family. My children and I will always have fond memories of George walking around proudly taking pictures of all the children. We will specially remember one Easter egg hunt where all the grandchildren and extended family was gathered which is very rare in itself. George carried his camera making sure to capture each child's expression as they found an egg. His eyes sparkled and his smile had the joy of a child who found a treasure. We thank George for these pictures which captured many memories to last a lifetime!!
Sincerely,
The Kazlauskas Family

George created wonderful memories for me. From growing up with his two sons and carrying on into adulthood. My fondest memories were visiting his camp in Maine with his son Mark. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow.

Grampy was one of the best grandparents anyone could have. He couldn't have done anything better. He always put his grandchildren first and I will miss that dearly. I will miss everything from going to Maine to just going down the street to dairy queen for an ice cream. He was always there for me at dance recitals and it is now time that I am there for him. I have appreciated everything about him. It is important that we all remember him for his caring ways. He was a fighter and did all he could. I couldn't ask for him to do anything more. He will be strongly missed.
