George will be greatly missed by all of us at Plinke Chiropractic. We truly enjoyed the time with him in the office, listening to the stories of feeding his squirrels, sharing the photos of his kitty, but most of all him sharing stories of his life with Lois, and all of his wonderful daughters......

No words can express the loss of a loved one. Good memories of them keep them alive in all of us that are left behind. I am so sorry for your loss. For the short time I knew George, I grew to love him with his kind, gentle, and caring ways. I will especially remember his workshop, our meal together and then gambling at the casino. He will be missed.

May the peace which comes from memories of the love shared with George comfort you today and in the days ahead. I know no words can really help ease the loss you bear. Please know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.

We are all filled with a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, and one more laugh with such a wonderful person. We don't understand why he left this earth, or why he left before we were ready to say good-bye. However, little by little, we will begin to remember not only that he is no longer with us, but that he lived. His life gave all of us beautiful memories that we will never forget. So today I send my sincere condolences on the loss of George. It was such a joy getting to know him. What a wonderful person who is now reunited with Lois and our almighty Father.

With Sincere Sympathy,
Rhonda Rice

Dear Messer Family:
Our sincere sympathy to all of you in the loss of Mr. Messer. It was truly an honor and privilege to have met and escort Mr. Messer to see the World War II Memorial in Washington, DC and have the opportunity to thank him for his service to our Great Country. It was a wonderful trip and one of my memories is that Mr. Messer loved the stars and stripes peppermint candy! You are all in my thoughts and prayers as well as Mr. Messer.

With my sincere sympathy,

It was an extreme honor to meet Mr. Messer this past summer. What a wonderful gentleman he was. We had a lovely chat about his Army days during WWII...the memories he shared were heartwarming in that he brought back the view of the world as my late father, also a WWII veteran, saw it. We also had quite a detailed discussion on the virtues of his pet cat, another area of commom interest!! Although I spent less than an hour with him, I could tell that this man was obviously a "gift" to all whose lives he touched. My Nicole had told me so many wonderful things about him...I wish that I had the opportunity to get to know him better. Sadly, God calls His children home. To Mr. Messer's daughters and their families, I extend my heartfelt sympathy and prayers at this most difficult time. Surely you will find comfort in knowing that your parents are reunited, walking hand in hand with God in heaven.
Sincerely,
Linda Davies
(Nicole's Mom)
