My condolences to the family.
George and Trish, Please accept our deepest sympathy as you walk down this road without your father and father-in-law. May you Rest In Peace knowing that he is with his Heavenly Father.
I am sorry to hear that George died. I worked with him many years until his retirement at the Kirkwood Police department. When I joined the department in 1969, George was already there, and he helped me “learn the ropes” and lent me advice many times during my early period. My sincerest condolences to Lonnie and the Basler family. Bob Kosyan (retired 2012)
Thinking of your family in this difficult time. Sending you lots of love and thoughts.
People see God in the people we love, so when someone you love dies, for a moment you cease to see God (Bernard Shaw). We pray that your moment is brief.
Faith Scofield and Barry Hong
Lonnie and Family our thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this sad time in your life, so sorry for your loss. George was a good Man and he will be missed. Ella Mae, Larry Turley
