Janie - It is with a sad heart that we acknowledge the loss of a wonderful classmate. George was a very special part of our '57 Class and even though you will hear from individual class members, this condolence is on behalf of the entire Class. George did it all and made CHS and Muncie proud!

George was a great guy. I knew him during my younger years. George was a good friend of my brother during their high school days. I went to school with his sister, Marilyn. My condolences to his family.
