Dear Ellen - I was so sorry to just learn that George has left this life. He was someone who always had a smile on his face and made me laugh many, many times during our work years.
I hope that you are doing all right now that some time has gone by. It hurts all the time though, I know.
Peace. Julie Fjeldheim

Dean, As you know, I knew your dad, George, all through high school as well as all the years up and through our 55th class reunion. Over the years George attended reunion meetings just to join in to enjoy the food, libation, and conversation which all of us enjoyed as we worked diligently to put a great class reunion together. His amazing smile, good looks, incredible personality, great football player and his love for golf will never be forgotten. As they said in his obit., he had a definite resemblemce to Kenny Rogers. Prayers for you Dean and your whole family. God Bless.
