I was so sorry to read of George's death and actually shocked by his age, although I shouldn't have been. I hadn't seen him in so many year that I remember him as I last saw him. He was always so nice to us kids at church. I really liked him and his quiet ways. George and Helen were a wonderful couple and I will always remember them with love because they were such a part of my life growing up. My thoughts are with Helen, Randy, Karin and Sue.

all of us would like to offer our heart felt condolences on georges passing. its sad to say that the last time we saw george was at dads funeral. its ironic that that both passed almost one year to the day of each other. george was a truly kind and gentle soul that was always a pleasure to be around. i always enjoyed georges visits to our law office, and to hear he and dad reminisce about their days growing up together. we just found out about his passing today, and are sorry that we could not be there for the services. we are going to be making a contribution to the hospice in his memory as suggested. again please accept our condolences and prayers. respectfully your adkins cousins. jim, don and gail
