George was such a loyal and good friend of my Dad's, who was Jack Gary. They both had dogs they adored; they both lived in El Ranchito; they both loved visiting with people and each other; and they both got up before the sun came up. As a result, each morning George (out walking his dog) put Jack's newspaper on his doorstep so he could find it. (Jack had eyesight problems.) They would sit and talk three or four times a day. He was always there to help Dad with a chore or run an errand. I always enjoyed seeing George and his dog when I visited Dad. He will be missed. I know he and Jack are having a great visit in heaven now. Pam, may the Lord bless you and Tim during this sorrowful time.

I have such fond memories of George. He was such a great member of our community at El Ranchito. He was always there to help my stepfather Jack Gray when needed. I have missed him over the last few years. Thanks George for all that you gave to my life. I will always have love in my heart for you. RIP ol buddy.
