George - Although I knew George for only a short period of his life, it was clear that he was a genuine kind hearted soul. I´m grateful to have crossed paths with George, he was always willing to lend a helping hand. I vividly remember his friendly voice when he would genuinely ask how my day was going. George always made each conversation feel sincere and he intently listened. His absence is greatly felt at work, not hearing his friendly greeting or seeing his quirky ties brings great sorrow. I am deeply ashamed that George wasn´t aware how much better he personally made our workplace. His loss was too soon and sudden. I will miss you my friend.

George-
I will miss your quick wit and smile.
Thank you for always asking me about my volunteer work outside of work.
I wish you would have made it to one of the events.
Thank you for ALWAYS thanking the veterans and being truly patriotic!
Rest easy now.

I will miss you George. You were so kind to me with your continued prayers and daily hugs when I was going thru my daughter´s accident journey. I appreciated your kindness more than I told you. That will be my lesson going forward.....to make sure others know I care about them, and to always smile back when someone smiles at me. I will truly miss your smile and your kind soul. RIP my friend. Carolyn Collins.

There is just no words for the amazing sadness that your Nampa Costco #734 is feeling over your loss George. It was so palpable on Wednesday its hard to believe we're never going to see you again. I love how you would greet every member by name. You exemplified the meaning of customer service . Costco lost an amazing employee and friend. Rest in peace George. Til we meet again.

George, the fact that I will no longer get to see you at Costco deeply saddens me. I´m lost for words. You always shared a positive attitude along with a contagious smile that impacted our lives! I´ll miss working with you for sure. It´s been a pleasure knowing you. Rest easy my friend!

George, your impact in mine and lives of your Costco family is something we will always carry with us. Your intense Joy and laughter that you showed all of us is something I will greatly miss. I appreciate how you genuinely listened and cared. How you checked in on me in my chaotic times and my slightly less chaotic times. I will miss our conversation about life and all the knowledge you shared. I will miss seeing you in your ties and how proud you were of the one I gave you. Your beacon of light is not one that can replicated and your genuine care is rare. Your strong presence and work ethic was always appreciated and noticed. And we loved you for all your efforts in work and in friendships and bonds you created. Our hearts are so broken and our minds in shock. I know the heavens hold a special place for you and I can wait to see your smile when I see there. May God hold you on this next journey. Your friend

George, even though we didn´t have many conversations, the smile you would throw me or when you asked how my day is going means more to me than you´ll ever know. You always had this brightness to you (including your crazy shirts and ties!!) that will always remain in my memories. Your kindness was a blessing to many at work and I´m sure in life. You will be missed. Rest easy in the hands of God and I´ll catch you later with Him.

I really enjoyed working with and considered him a trusted friend. You lest us all to early, but I´m sure your in a better place now! Just know you were loved and cherished by many and always will be remembered forever!

George, your void at work has impacted so many of your friends. Your contagious smile is no longer their to greet us. Your energy is missing, and your friends truly miss you. The thought of never being greeted by you again is devastating. Thank you for sharing your smile, kindness and friendship with me. I can tell you I will never see a neck tie again and not think of you and smile. Rest in our Lord's arms until we meet again. Your friend, Chrissy

The absence of George has left a void that words can hardly fill. He was not just a friend but a beacon of light that made every moment brighter. The memories we shared, from our endless conversations to the adventures that seemed to weave us closer, keep replaying in my mind, each one a testament to the bond we shared. George's laughter, wisdom, and unwavering support are irreplaceable treasures that I will carry with me forever. Though he may no longer be with us in person, his spirit continues to guide and inspire me in ways that are both profound and comforting. Missing him is a constant reminder of the preciousness of friendship and the impact one soul can have on another. George, you are deeply missed, but your legacy lives on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know you.
