Dear Peggy and Family
Connie and I were deeply saddened to hear of George's passing. I treasure the time we spent together at Ames. He was the finest mentor I have ever had. I still have a group photo of the Ames people hanging in my office, including, of course, George. I miss him.

Dear Mrs. Xenakis, Greg, Bill and Suzanne:
I didn't hear the sad news until after the funeral, otherwise I would have come. I remember your dad as being sincerely kind and friendly and having a wonderful sense of humor. I hope that he felt a sense of closure toward the end--a feeling of having accomplished what he set out to do in life.
Linda and I both pray that God will comfort you all during this difficult time and that the good things your dad imparted to you will continue on as you impart them to others.
Memory eternal.

Dear Aunt Peggy, Greg, Bill and Suzanne,
I am so sorry for your loss, I will miss my Uncle George. When Uncle George asked a person, "How are you,? he really wanted to know. He was truly inquisitive and interested in other peoples lives. He was a great listener and he really took the time to get to know people. I always looked forward to the visits from both Peggy and George. I will miss his stories he lead an interesting life. I'm sorry I could not be there to give you each a hug. My thoughts are with you.
Love and sympathy,
Nancy McDaniel

Dear Aunt Peg, Greg, Bill, Suzanne and families,
Our hearts are with you! Uncle George was very special to all of us and, along with your heavy hearts, our hearts are heavy now, too!
But we remember all of those wonderful times we had, the special reunions and the many visits you made to Detroit to come and see all the family, nephews and nieces! Nothing will ever replace those special visits and those are the times that will never be forgotten!
We sure will miss Uncle George, but he (and you) will never be far from our thoughts. Please know our prayers are with you always, and we pray for God's peace to surround you!
We love you!
David and Kathy Lomasney
