Uncle George and Aunt Flora were both always so sweet when I was a youngster. I will always remember them both fondly. I wish I could be there to celebrate his life and see my cousins after all these years. My sympathies and thoughts are with you all.
Grandpa will be missed! He was fair to all he knew and was not afraid to speak his mind on what he believed in. He was a joke-ster and we have enjoyed his many stories of his life's experiences. He dearly wanted to be reunited with Grandma Flora and he is now smiling in heaven!
MARY LOU AND FAMILY--SO SORRY FOR YOUR TREMENDOUS LOSS--MY THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS ARE WITH YOU AT THIS TIME--MAY MEMORIES EASE YOUR SORROW AND BE CHERISHED IN THE DAYS TO FOLLOW---
WITH MY DEEPEST SYMPATHIES

We were deeply saddened by the news of Uncle George's passing. Our thought and prayers are with him and his family.
We knew George and Flora for quite a few years and enjoyed both of them very much. George did a lot of sheet-metal work for antique cars for us, so we have great remembrances of his meticulous work. We are sorry we did not hear of George's passing in time to attend the service. Please accept our condolences.
