Dear Betty, Karen and Susan, I am so sorry for your loss. I have so many good childhood memories of George. There were so many times he was at the house or we were at y'all's house. I remember his smile. I loved being under our Dads feet whenever they were working on any given project!! God knows they had several. My dad, George and Uncle Cussy were always up to something! I am thankful for those memories. God Bless.

My condolences. You can tell from the slideshow that George had a great family life and was a great husband, father and grandfather. He really enjoyed his grandchildren and was a great example of a good marriage.
