I didn't know George very long but it seemed like a very long time. He was down the hall from my husband at St. Anns and they would visit each other. He and my husband were big baseball fans. He was very supportive of me when my husband passed away last Jan. It was a very difficult time for me and he prayed with me. Now they are both together again and can continue on with their baseball stories. I will never forget him and his piano playing. We talked about that also as I played piano years ago. I am so blessed to have known him. May he rest in peace. God Bless.

There are so many things I will miss, but I think I will miss his laugh the most. One more! I will miss his music. He played the piano for all to hear, and it was beautiful. I will honestly miss everything about him.

The Clark family wishes to share our condolences with the Veach's. In the same way that our stepmother Eva mothered the Spencer children, your father was a second papa to us growing up. Memories of him dropping in unexpected and immediately raiding the refrigerator. Ha Ha. He loved to laugh and we laughed with him.
So many memories of his mentoring and encouragement at critical juncture's in my life. We talked openly and without judgement about my failures, life choices, sins and even sex. And when we talked I knew I was the most important person in the room. He was a caring papa who always made you feel better about yourself.
And I know he impacted thousands worldwide in similar ways. His prophetic words and encouragement helped form and guide so many throughout our lives. So many wonderful memories flooding my soul of your and our Poppa! Our hearts grieve with you in your loss.
