George was always kind and funny whenever I was a guest in his home. I never saw him in a bad mood for he was always sharing his since of humor. After I became an adult and called his home to speak with Dorothy or Judy or Janie (when they were home for a visit)he always remembered me. I know he will be missed by family and friends, but now he has earned his reward and now resides in his Heavenly Home.

I will forever cherish my friendship with George and carry with me the many lessons and spiritual encounters as well as the antics that earmarked our relationship. Earth is a poorer place because of his departure but heaven is much richer due to his arrival. Save me a seat, George!
