I'll always remember him for his generosity and kindness.He never spoke unkindly of anyone.He was a person who did anything for his family. I remember when Bill and I broke down in Rehobeth Beach.Next thing we knew Dad came all the way from Silver Spring with a trailer on the back of his station wagon and towed us back all the way back home!What a guy!
We will miss him greatly.
Love,
Cheryl

George & Sue,
Sue, your singing was a wonderful tribute to George's Dad. You have a lovely voice! I'm sure it was very difficult for you to do on such a sad occassion.
George, what a wonderful eulogy! I'm sure it meant so much to your family. I didn't know your Dad, but what a magnificent man he must have been.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
God's Blessings,
Love,
Nancy

We will remember him as a gracious gentleman. He accomplished many successes in his life although they may never be acclaimed. More importantly, he demonstrated what it means to live a rich and full life. He taught us all subtlety, by example to love and care for one another; to always do your best; to be endlessly patient; to meet each day with joyfulness; to celebrate new life; to enjoy the beauty in this world, especially through nature, music and art; to treasure diversity and practice tolerance; to have courage and always strive for peace; to speak no unkind words; to work with your hands and fix things yourself (even if it takes a little longer); to spend time with those you love; to think of others first and be prepared to rescue those that need rescuing, to always be charitable; to enjoy some candy regularly; to be a gentle teacher and nurture all growing things; to have faith in God and take time to worship him; to enjoy exuberance and sing with reckless abandon and finally to reserve some quite time alone.
He was not ours to keep. He was God’s ambassador in our lives for a time. We honor his memory by passing these values along to our children, his grandchildren.
Good night sweet angel. You were truly a “gentle man”. You loved us well and we love you!
Your loving Daughter-in-law
