Remarkable man who lived his faith and shared his Love for the Lord. I will miss the coffee chats, the jokes and stories and smile that always brightened the cloudiest of days. Thank you Lord for the opportunity and blessing to have George in our lives. May you find comfort & peace that Our Heavenly Father has called His faithful servant HOME.

Aunt Ethel,
We were so sorry to hear of the passing of Uncle George. I always looked forward to seeing the two of you at family reunions. Uncle George always knew how to make us laugh. I still remember the wonderful prayer he said at the hospital when my dad died. He was a very caring, loving man who will be missed by many. As my sister said, Grandma is definitely putting him to work in heaven.
