George and my Dad knew each other very well at FCC, and as I grew older, we shared that history and he always was a gentlemen and brought a smile to my face whenever I saw him. He will be missed greatly and my prayers go out to his family that the Lord will give you comfort at this time and shine His face upon you and give you peace.
Bill Fetherston and family.
