It is with a certain feeling of sorrow, to realize another of God's true servants has left us, but also a feeling of gladness that George has safely reached the other shore. He will be missed. We remember his gentle ways, and quiet humor, but most of all his Godly counsel

Our best memory of George is him on the platform at Convention sharing the word of God. When we close our eyes we can still hear his words of wisdom.

Pat and I will always remember George for his frank expressions. I remember back in 1983 at Picton Convention during clean-up day. George and I were talking about taking down the tent. He said it had to be down the right way. He mentioned one year at North Hatley Convention an engineer decided to do it his way. George said it was the biggest mess he has ever seen. We last saw George at Dunnville Convention in 2003 and had a good chat with him. He was showing signs of memory loss, but still maintained his good sense of humour. Its wonderful to see workers like George finish in the harvest field. A good example to others following. His health was not always the best, but he kept going in spite of his sickness. He will be remembered as a "Faithful Servant of God"

At Carson Cowan's funeral, George said he asked Carson one day, "What should we be doing?" Carson said, "Just keep on doing what you are doing." And that's what George did. Steady, true and sporitually predictable to the end. George was an inspiration to us and his counsel will remain in time to come. Our condolences to his family and to all the workers who knew him.

It was special to have George in our field his last years in the work. We had him in our home for a few days not long before he was not able to be in the work. We felt a special understanding from George even though he did not say much.

Our dear George, we won't forget his gentle, quiet and unassuming way among us and his interest in us all. I (Connie) returned from my wayward ways through George and his companion, Jean Gravil in 1980. I will never forget those days in Ottawa.

George is a man I will always rememberas a strong man.When I think of George I see a real clear picture of him standing out-side the tent at Richmond convention,its time all were inside but there is still lots out-side. George doesn't say a single word,just keeps looking at his watch and everyone gets the message.He had the spirit and led by his gentle spirit.Our thoughts are with all of his family.

George has been a very special man to the Beattie Family. He spent many days in our home in Quebec and when I was 11 years old I made my choice in George's meetings. He will be greatly missed and I will always remember that little smile.
