Anna and Vickie, We are sorry for your loss. George was a good man. Mom and Dad had a great deal of respect for him. I can still see the "two Georges" sitting at our kitchen bar contemplating the days events and wondering what was for supper! They really enjoyed each other's company. He will be missed by many.

I worked with George at Texaco, he was an excellent operator, kind and honest gentleman! He could cook an awesome breakfast. A really great man that I highly respected.
