We are so sorry to hear about George. He will really be missed. If you ever needed anything he was there to help. He really was one of a kind, but he was special. We went to church with him when he went to Ridgecrest Baptist.

Betty and Allison:
I'm so Sorry to hear about George. It's been a very long time since I'd seen George but he's one you could never forget. He would come in and be grumpy then turn around and cut his eye at you and smile. I enjoyed working with George. I will keep you in my prayers.
