So sorry of GJ's passing. There are no words that I can say to express how sad this makes us feel. We're reliving the nightmare all over again.
GJ look for Carl Jr. to embrace. You are going to be missed.
Love you Darcelle, Carl, & Kyle Righter

We are heartbroken to hear of the death of G.J. We can still remember him riding his bike down the street with his little helmet on crooked. He will be missed. Our love and prayers go out to you.

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. Last I saw George was when he was working for parma pizza and I told him to hook my sandwich up! He spent a lot of time at my house during his younger years. RIP George and Lord be with this family at this difficult time. Desmond, Shannon and Robin Martin
