I worked with George at Southco Fasteners for many years and I'm saddened by his passing. George was always willing to take the time and make the effort to help the newer employees. George will be missed by us all.



Sincerely,

Paul Allison

George was one in a million! It was such a shock to learn of his passing; I saw him at choir practice Wednesday night and he looked so vital. I remember being at the Phantoms game Friday night and remarking to a mutual friend during an intermission when a Boy Scouts troop went out on the ice to perform "that reminds me of George Gerstlauer". He will always be remembered for his dedicated service to his church, his community, the Shriners and the Boy Scouts.



I'm expressing prayers and my deepest condolences to all of his family at this very challenging time.

George was a great guy and a great friend. Singing in The Chanters was important to George as it was to my late husband, Pellman. I recently enjoyed George's company at the Eastern Star meetings.



Larry knew George at Fleischman Memorial Baptist Church where his wisdom and decisiveness made him among the most influencial people in his life.
