Dearest Kay,

You have been blessed to have such a wonderful husband and best friend for almost 60 years. You have made many great memories through the years. May those fond memories help to bring peace and comfort to you heart and mind. George was a good friend to me and to many. I will miss my e-mail buddy. God Bless you and all the family at this very sad and difficult time. My continued prayers are with you all.

Yesterday we bade final goodbye to our dear neighbor with tears & heavy hearts. Words may not suffice to express the heartfelt sorrow we feel. You touched many lives you had been great to us. We maybe different but we feel the pain of losing you just the same. The vision of COCO your dog & you by the porch waving as we come & go will be seen no more. We will surely miss you, George. Your memories will live with us forever.

As a person you were an example of what a person should be, as a husband you showed us what a marriage is all about and as a Father you provided and were always there for us. We are because of you and Mom. Love you always Dad, your son

Uncle George, you will always live in my heart and my mind. The wonderful memories I have of all the holidays we enjoyed together and the fun times we had on your visits to see us in California. You always were there to help us and to give us positive advice. You will always be one of my favorite people I've ever known.We love you and will miss you forever.

George was my friend, he helped me when I really needed help. He was my best man 58 years ago and he is still my best man. I'm a much better person for even knowing George. I will always keep him in my prayers. I hope God grants his family the peace George now enjoys. Thanks George for always being there.

Kay and family
Our hearts go out to you. We will always remember your kindness when you visited with us at Alden's Rehab. It perked my George up when he needed it. It is a good memory of your George.
