Georgie was my cousin, my favorite cousin. He was one of the nicest guys anyone ever had the privilege to know.
We had such good times together.
He will be truly missed.

Well and hour and a half on a Monday is scarcely enough time to give my childhood buddy George tribute. He and I lived on the same street in Hometown. His friendship meant a lot to me. It seems like I was just talking to him at Scott's funeral. I meant to keep in touch.

God bless you Beckett family, I'll pray for you.

George played in a band at my wedding over 25 years ago with my brother-in-law, I thought he was the coolest. We went white water rafting up in eagle river with a whole group of people and had a blast. Geoerge and I could talk on the phone for hours. But he never worried about himself, but always about everyone else. He truly was a wonderful person to know and I will never forget him.
Love always and forever

George and I had been friends since 1966. We met in High School and later were in the same rock band together, the "Midnite Shadows". We were the best of friends through the early seventies. George was a great guy to hang around with, he was funny and witty, and could always make us laugh. While he and I lost contact years ago, I will always have fond memories of the good times we shared. I will miss you George, rest in peace old friend.
