Know that I live on, Vibrating to a different measure behind a thin veil you cannot see through. You will not see me, So you must have faith. I wait for the time when we can soar together again, both aware of each other. Until then, live your life to its fullest. And when you need me, Just whisper my name in your heart, ... I will be there.

Dear family of George,
We are sorry to hear about Uncle George. Knowing him, he is making the most of his new home and exploring it's many possibilities. He was a one-of-a-kind, intelligent and caring man. When you met him, you couldn't forget him.

I am truly sorry to hear about George's passing. He and Joyce were truly special people. When Jim (Ross) and I and our boys,Stephen and Larry, used to visit them in Hobart,their home became our home while we were there. Jim and George were so close in age, it was more like they were brothers instead of Uncle and Nephew. Since Jim passed away, I had not heard anything of them except they had moved to Las Vegas (I think). Stephen, Larry, and I have such wonderful memories of those visits and we still speak of them often. God bless you all and comfort you in the way that only He can. Barbara Ross Burch

Polly, Carrie, Cliff, Denny and Family,
We were so sorry to learn of George's passing. He was a good man in many ways and has certainly passed along many/all of his good attributes to each of you on a personal and professional level. I used to think how cool it was when Polly would call George no matter where we were, on our annual ski trips and talk about all kinds of neat things. George will be missed by all but never forgotten.
God bless all of you during this difficult time and in the future. We're thinking of you and praying for you.
Love,
David, Paula & Kelsey Barrick

Dear Polly, Carrie, Cliff, Peggy and Mark,
Your dad meant a lot to me. He trained me as a Realtor. I have often thought of his words and tried to pattern myself after his ways. You are so blessed to have the many memories you have. Cherish them daily. God Bless you all. Your parents love and wisdom shows forth through all of you.
God Bless,
Diane and Phillip Drennan

Words can't explain how grateful I am for the time that you shared with us. Your positive attitude, encouragement, wisdom, and love has left a lasting impression that I will never forget. The BOND of family is something that you taught and lived by example, and brought us all very close.
George(Dad)thanks for the four wonderful and loving years you gave to Barbara(Mom). The sparkle in her eye for your gentle and tender love made all us men in the family strive to be like you towards our own wives.
As the family has come together and researched your childhood and early years, we found that life was not always easy and many days were spent working on the farm from sunrise to sunset to help provide for the family. After distinguished years in high school both in academic and sports, you then went to bravely serve your country in the Air Force. Later you met a beautiful woman(Joyce) and raised a great family. With Joyce and the kids you started Ginter Real Estate and made it the premier real estate company in NW Indiana. During difficult times in the real estate industry when other firms were closing, you just worked that much harder and proved that through hard work brings positive results.
I could go on and on about your life, but through such a tremendious lifetime, what still stands out the most is your love for family and friends and the impression you have made on so many lives!!!
God allowed you to bless soo many people, and he is now rewarding you in HEAVEN
My life will be forever impacted by the role model you truly lived. We love and miss you !!!!

We are so sorry to hear of George's passing.
We give thanks for such wonderful memories that will always be part of us.
When George and Joyce were still here in Hobart they were such a part of our every day lives. We have missed Joyce ever since her passing and although we have not seen George in a long time now he always has been with us in our hearts. Joyce and George will continue to be in our hearts. We never had the opportunity to met George's wife Barbara but we did hear her a lot about her. We always heard how happy they were together. We send our love to his wife Barbara and to all the family. And to George we say...bless you George as you continue on your life's journey.

We were so sorry to hear of Mr. Ginter's passing. We were not privileged to know Mr. Ginter personally; we have been honored to know many of his children and grandchildren. It takes a very special patriarch to oversee such a wonderful family. You will all be in our thoughts and prayers.
