George was a very nice man, he lived next door to my mother, and he was always so friendly. I will miss seeing him. Your family will be in our prayers. God rest his soul.
Knew George from church was friendly to all and he will be missed
I met George at the Jefferson County YMCA several years ago …. looked forward to seeing him every day. George always had some words of wisdom for us. We always had a good laugh,
Many of us at the Y will miss George.
