My deepest sympathy to you and your family. George always had a story or a joke to tell whenever I would run into him. He always made me laugh and would always tease my Mom about something. This is what I will remember. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers this day.

Mrs Greathouse,
Sorry to hear of Mr George's passing. I grew up down the road from you when you lived on Kilgore. I pass your house and I think about Mr. George out in your beautiful yard, always with a wave and a smile. When I worked at Darrow's, he would come in to shop with the same kind smile and conversation. My prayers are with you and your family.
