George and family enriched our Hunter Road lives! Beautiful memories and pictures will remain in our hearts forever.
From Mary Tower Marling
Cynthia was my roommate in Evanston and I attended the fun George and Cynthia wedding in DC. We have kept in touch over these many years . The last time I spoke with George, last year, he sounded very good. Times change. I will miss them both. Hope all is well with you both, Linda and Bill.
From Jeanne Weber W…
I sincerely enjoyed those years (many years ago) when George was on the Race Committee! What a great guy! My thoughts and prayers will be with your families.
From Wendy Kane
My thoughts of George are so positive. Lunch/Beers at the Goose Hollow...various Thanksgivings at friend's homes....I have always envied how open Linda and George are with each other and what a comfortable existence they had. Not every child/father has that and I'm thrilled that they got to experience so much pleasure these last few years. George's memory will be cherished.
From Rollie Schmitt
George was a great crew member on "Dolly" for many years.. My very sincere sympathy to Linda and Bill.
From Christine (Hes…
I have very fond memories of your father and the fun we all had @ Harris Bank. Whenever I couldn't answer a customer's question - he very graciously and willingly took on the challenge and told me to just transfer the call to him! (He always had the right answer for them!) He was a class act.... very sad for your loss - my prayers are with you all.
From Cousin Jennife…
He would probably like to have the email about the scot climbing the ladder posted, if only I could find it. Rest in Peace Cousin George. You put color in my life! Jen
From Hank Brooks
