Aunt Jeannie, cousins Rhonda & George and families; I was saddened to hear Uncle George has passed. My childhood memory of him was he smiled readily and genuinely. He was fun to be around. May God help you heal. Sincerest sympathy - Deb Klein

We are so sorry for your loss.
We have heard many stories growing up about how your mom and dad were like parents to our mom.
We know he was proud of all of you and was a very blessed man.
All our love to you during this difficult time.
