So sorry to hear of George's passing. I recall his discussions with my father after he graduated college( and beyond) about raising hogs efficiently and styles of barns etc, plus the cattle side. I know dad had a lot of respect for George ( and Lawrence). I really liked his humor! Life well lived.

I was sad to see the obituary today that George had passed away. I certainly enjoyed my years I served with George on the Gold Star board. He was pleasant, bright person with a great sense of humor. When tough decisions had to be made, it was always about what is good for the average farmer or the company, not what was good for George. That is a great trait to have as a board member.
George served his community well!
