Micah, I have no words to soften the loss of your father. While I didn't know him, watching his tribute video the resemblance between you two is remarkable. I see his smile on your face and my prayer is that you will embrace the fun, loving memories and shine that smile again soon. For me, although I cannot replace my father and miss him everyday, I try to let his memory and legacy live on through my actions. My condolences, my friend, Beth Dees

I worked with George many years at Gulf/Chevron. He always brightened a room when he entered. Even through adversity and tough times his sunny disposition shined through. Rest in peace, dear friend. You will be missed.

We were across-the-street neighbors (23rd Street in Port Arthur) when we were young children. We played many baseball games in the vacant lot next to the Denzlinger home....so much fun; precious memories. We loved Rosie Denzlinger dearly. She was like a sister to my Mother. Praying for the family and remembering them fondly. Cheryl Droddy Hyatt
