It was the honor of a lifetime to preside over the funeral service of our friend George. We laughed, prayed and gave honor to a unpridictable, loving, and loyal person. May the lord bless us all and keep George in our hearts forever as an example of what a true friend is about. George your legacy will live on threw random acts of kindness by all of us. Rest in peace and tell my dad Tony Vega hello, somehow I know you two are running things in heaven. Chaplain Marie Boyd

It won't be quite the same around here without George. We will be missing him bunches. I guess "Lenny" will have to eat his hot dogs at the cookouts, but somehow, I think Lenny might have trouble whipping up those delicious cakes and deviled eggs. And who is going to decorate for Halloween and Christmas? I still remember George, Dizz, and Rick hanging lights on the giant pine tree in the circle...and running a jumble of extension cords to George's house for power. It wasn't complete untill they fashioned a wooden star for the top.
Nancy, Darrin, Ron, Howard, Bill, Colleen, Tony, Pat, Maryann, Angie, and Loretta, I'm glad I got to spend some time with you. I only wish it were under more pleasant circumstances. You guys are special and you'll always have friends in Newport News.

To The Stowe Family,
My husband grew up on White Oak (Dizz's nephew) and knew George very well. We are in shock to hear of your loss. George was quite the character and will be fondly remembered by our family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all during this very difficult time.
All our love,
The Hudsons
