Dear Mrs. Kazanas,

I regret that I never met you, But I have known George longer than just about anyone. We were classmates at Sanger Avenue School back in the mid to late 1930s and through Waco High School and were always friends even though we rarely saw each other. Lost track of George after Baylor, and was delighted to see him again a few years ago and again just this past year at the Waco High Class of 45 reunions. I was looking through some old photos only recently and found a couple of pictures of our Sanger Ave. class with George and me and our other classmates, taken in about 1939. He was always a great guy and an enjoyable companion. I deeply regret his passing and extend to you and all his family my sincere sympathy.

With Warmest Regards,

Dear Beverly,
We were sad to read about George's death. It has been many, many years since we last saw the two of you down in Houston. We have a lot of fun memories about those times in our life...we fondly remember attending your wedding down in Houston.

George and I were great buddies through high school and college. I moved to Ft. Worth, George went to the sevice then Houston and our paths were separate for many years.
We met again in the 1990s when George and Beverly lived in Ft. Worth for a while. It has been a wonderful time ever since. Bonnie and I will certainly miss him. We continue to pray for his family every day.
