George I miss the days we had drinking coffee at the Kum&Go and talk about the old days when you can take a walk without having to look over your shoulder, I love sitting and talking about the people we knew. I miss you very much I am a little jealous you are now with my mom, son, pops, and my long time friend and sis Andrea. I will see ya soon so while I am away keep my family company for me. Thank you George for all the talks we had you were and still are a great friend. Rest My Friend Until I See You Again.
So sorry to hear of Georges passing. I will always remember the good times I had with him, both in Arkansas and our adventure to Washington state. My condolences to his family.

Uncle George was a good man, just like my stepdad, Dexter. They cared for others and always offered their help. Just all around good and decent people. I know they are together again and that gives some comfort in knowing that. They were hard workers and deserve their rest now. I’m a better person just for getting the privilege of having them in my life. I love them and will always miss them. I don’t know you well Patsy, but you will definitely be in my thoughts. I wish you strength and comfort in this heartbreaking time. I can’t imagine what you are going through. George will be missed by so many but he is at peace now and with Dexter and I’m sure they have lots of catching up to do. They will watch over and protect us always.
George was a kind and funny man. I have numerous good memories of him and his brother Dexter. I know they're rejoicing together in heaven. I sure will miss him. Prayers for Patsy and family during this difficult time. Pasty keep praying for strength and endurance and know that God will never leave your sideâ¤ðŸ™
George was a good man he’ll be missed
