My dad was a big help to me and our whole family. Big heart, loving guidance, good listener, really loved being with all of us. He really enjoyed working on the farm and talking to people. His swing I think will always be occupied so he can look out over the fields and the beautiful view we have at the farm. He is missed in a large way by a lot of people.

To the family & extended family members.
We send deepest condolences to all of you at the passing of your father, grandfather & great grandfather. We had the pleasure of being in the company of this kind man at family gatherings (Pearson) for the wedding of Bill & Pepsi, then the birthday parties of Dylan & Madison Thru the years!
Double "G" as we knew him, was a pleasure to spend those happy occasions with. He was a kind and loving man. May he be reunited with those loved ones who had gone before him and rejoice in the Heavens with his Lord & Savior
You are in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time and the days ahead. May you find comfort in knowing he´s in no pain and at peace. God Bless
Love ,
