I am glad to have know George for the past 17 years I have lived in Kearns. I have fond memories of visiting both him and Mary; and then visiting him after Mary's passing. I liked to talk to him about gardening--he once gave me a cucumber that was completely round like an apple. I can't remember what he told me it was--maybe a lemon cucumber? And I liked to see his talent for woodburning in the wallhangings he had in the living room. He was a great man, loving and giving. My condolences to the family.

Family of George: My husband & I were home teachers to George until we moved 2-1/2 yrs ago. He was a joy to visit. He loved in telling us about his military adventures in the Navy. I so wanted to come to the services but they conflict with other activities :( I will miss him. Bev Taylor
