George and I met in high school and worked at the same company after graduating the same year. We lived as roommates for short period, both of us away from home for the first time. George, his good friend Dan and I even went to a Madonna concert together in 1985. Did he ever admit that? We lost touch, and how bittersweet to view his photo gallery. I knew George would be a good family man. My condolences and prayers.

To: Edward, Maria and Deana. George was our family, you are family. Remember the good times, no if only. He knew you loved him, I know he loved you, this shouldn't have happened, he was much to young and had so much living yet to do. It's not fair my Grandchildren losing their father. We will all go on as he would want us to do, we will keep him close in our hearts. Take care of you and we are here for you. Love

I only met George a couple of times, but knew he was the type of guy who would be a friend for life! You just felt like you were in the presence of great vibes, love, laughter and adventures when you were with him! And that infectious smile! See you on the other side, my friend...you will be missed!

My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting George on a random visit to The Dalles. It was with great excitement we discovered he was a Vikings fan! It was a close game that morning but a victory was had! He picked me up and carried me through the bar with me cheering and waving my Viking Pom poms! I will never forget! Thank u for the memory!!!!!
