To the Fleck Family

I first met George when I was still farming and had called him to work on a Kan-Sun crop dryer. He and his son came out and worked on it and from then on, he would come when we had any trouble. He then came when I retired from farming and my son took over. He was a "great" guy and really knew what he was doing.

Please know the entire family has our deepest sympathy for your loss. He will be missed.

I was just back in the States in April, and went to visit Uncle Georgeeven though he was sleeping in his chair when I went in to see him, I kind of tapped him on the shoulder and said "Uncle George, do you remember me?? I am your nephew, Fred Peters." He looked at me, broke into a smile, and said "Are you crazy??!!! How could I forget you?? Put'er there, Baby" and give me one of his handshakesthat was the last time I saw him.could go on and on with the stories about himhim and Bobby Joe building our house, seeing him test 110 outlets with his barehand, helping put up hay, telling the stories about all his brothers and sistersa beautiful person, and I know I learned a lot from himRIP, Uncle Georgeyour memory lives on in Guam.your nephew, Fred Peters

I am so sorry for your loss. George was a great man and I loved to take care of him. We were all very sad to see him leave Villa West and go across to East. He had so much life and spirit in him that he shared with everyone who knew him. He will be greatly missed.
