My deepest sympathy to each of you on the death of your dad. May God comfort you during this time. I know you are thankful you have had him in your lives for so many years. I will hold fond memories of him. He and Daddy really enjoyed their visits over the years. Maybe they are chatting it up in Heaven right now. You are in my thoughts and prayers. Sorry I can't be there for the graveside service.

My heart goes out to you, Chuck and Tommy, in the loss of your Dad. Chuck, I remember him taking us to the Country Club dances and his making jokes about him being our "chauffeur"!!! Then, I got to know him in my later life, when we worked together at the paper mill for oh, so many years! George was a wonderful man, in so many ways! I grieve with you guys!!!! All my love to you both and your families.
