To George’s family,
I was saddened to hear of his untimely passing.
My deepest sympathies to the family.
I will be praying for you all during this difficult time.
We had been friends since 3rd grade.
Anyone that knew him, knew he was was always kind, easy going, and would always lend a hand to someone in need, as he’d say “even if they didn’t drive a Ford or own a John Deere”
You will be missed, but I’m honored to have known you.

I'm so sorry for your loss. George was one of the best. Always smiling. Last time I saw him was on the square in Paris for Halloween. His daughter's candy booth was next to mine. He pointed over at her with such pride, and said that's my daughter. You all will be in my prayers.
