George was like my second grandfather. I have fond memories of laughing together, or just talking about the days events. He gave wonderful 'life advice' and I will always remember him as such a loving husband to his wife.

Our condolences to the family, the loss of a parent is the most difficult part of our lives. We didn't know George, however, through Gertie, we feel as though we did. We know that he was a gentle gentleman and cared so much for his wife and family. May your loving memories soothe your hearts.

Anyone who knew George or even came into contact with him would say the same thing:

He had a long and happy life.
He was devoted to his wife Donna.
He had a keen sense of humor.
He was the fairest, most honest man I ever met.
His family and everyone calling him a friend will miss him.

His family invites all of you to leave a story, antidote or well wishes. We look forward to reading these messages from all of his friends.
