Dear Kay,
I am so very sorry for your great loss. George suffered for a very long time and hopefully you and your family can gain peace knowing that his earthly trials are past.
I remember and respected you and George so very well beginning back in grade school. The years have past and our families have been given to us and now are grown up too. Where do the years go?
God bless you Kay, and your family during this difficult time of loss of George.
Fondly,

Karen, I was so sorry to read about your father. I did not open my paper in time to be there yesterday and am sorry about that too. I know how hard it is to have your parent not be with you anymore. My mother died on 4-25 2 years ago. I pick the phone up about everyother day to call her for something silly. I would love to hear from you. Give me a call. Until then, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Kay,
George was s friend who put 100% in everthing he did. Simple woodwork projects were done with applied engineering, but also with the thought, detail and love of a master craftsman. He always had time to talk about the love of this family. We will all meet again someday, until then his presence and excellent trademark are everywhere. He will truly be missed by us.

To The David And Toney Families,
I was deeply saddened to hear the news of George passing. He along with Butch are men I will always feel had a great deal of influence in my life, both professionally and personally. As Julie said, He was a mentor to many of us. I will miss Him greatly and will remember you all in my prayers.

George was truly a great person and a good friend to my dad. I always enjoyed talking to him when he came into the shop. He will certainly be missed. You and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers.

Dear Kay,
Not surprising to read that many remember his HUMOR in entertaining children. I am sure many remember George, as I do, as an endearing and positive speaking person. I will always remember seeing his initials shinning through your sun tanned skin---way back in high school. (Tape does have many uses.) God bless you and your family as you contiue to grow even from his loss. And condolences also to his mother.

To the David family,
Uncle George was a wonderful man who, most of all, loved his family. He worked tirelessly, devoting much of himself to each of his projects. He also lived life with great humor, as evidenced in the giggles of the kids who always wanted him to entertain. He was a friend to many and a mentor to me. I will always remember him with great love and respect and you are in my prayers.

Aunt Kay, Karen, Brenda and Bubba-

I am so sorry for your loss. I loved Uncle George so much and will always remember his laughter and quick wit especially when trying to teach us a thing or two about the building business! We will be forever grateful to him for his help.
I will keep you in my thoughts and prays as you grieve the loss of a truly beautiful soul.
Much love
