George, my mother’s cousin, will be greatly missed. I will always remember his trips to our home in FL with my Uncle Jack. They were always so much fun! That is how he met Edith- on a double date. He was so happy to have found the love of his life. My thoughts and prayers are with Edith and family in your time of sorrow.
Very sorry to hear of George’s passing. I lived up the road and would speak with him on occasion as I was taking my walks. What a very pleasant person he was. Thoughts and prayers to his family.
Always a smile on his face when he came to the farm to make a delivery for CPS. Was a caring man asking and talking about the family. Keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
George, my very good friend and cousin whom I respected, a true believer trusting in God will surely be missed. We had many good times together at the Ratzer Rd. Place and The farm.
George, my mother’s cousin, would come to Florida with my Uncle Jack for visits when we were young and we always enjoyed them. George was kind and considerate. What a comfort that he’s suffering no more and is with his Savior. Our prayers are with Edith and family.
George was a wonderful neighbor to us. He took care of the land so we’ll, planting a large garden and clearing the front area by the wall. We will miss him greatly.
I will always remember George, along with my brother Jack and their dune buggy rides in the summer and fall and the snow mobile rides in the winter. They had the greatest times together and so much fun. I will also remember George’s kind and soft nature. He had a kind soul and will be greatly missed.
