We are very saddened to hear of Georges passing. George & I worked together many times on tractor issues. George was with Cat and I was with the Cat dealer in Colorado. George and I were very good friends. He will be missed.
It is difficult to tell you how deeply I feel about George's passing. What started many years ago as a business relation quickly became a warm frendship. The fishing and camping trips we took together will always be a part of my cherished memories.
May God comfort you at this time of loss and sorrow.
Our sincere condolences prayers go wth you.
We remember George and Barb as neighbors in Far Hills during the time George and Lynn worked at Caterpillar. It was always fun to get our boys and you girls together for a family visit. Both your parents were wonderful people.
All of us in the Class of 1950 send our condolences to George's family. We remember his drawings of his Smoos. He and Barbara always attended our class reunions. We will miss him and Barbara very much
George was a fellow employee at Caterpillar Tractor Co's Parts Department -- we worked together for a number of years and George was a valued friend.
I am very saddened at my good friends passing. He was the best guy to work with at all of Caterpillar. I'm certain, he and Barbara are in heaven touring in one of his Corvairs offering help to any and all in need. He was a GREAT friend and will be missed by me and my family. Godspeed George!
I will miss George-i lived around the block from him.
Mr. George will be missed. He was one of my favorite people to talk to at our Corvair get togethers. Smart man. R.I.P., Mr. George.

George will be missed by us.
we have been fiends for twenty years and he and Pal have been with us often, love to the girls and hope you will enjoy Pal.
To the family of George I'm saddened to hear of his passing. George and I lived just around the corner from one another in Germantown Hills "Far Hill's". We worked together for years in Bldg. JJ at Cat in East Peoria training center. George and I both are car builders as I have street rods. It was not planned, but we both retired to within 5 miles of one another here in the Mountain Home AR area. Again I'm sorry to hear of your lose. Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with here. GOD's Blessings to you all.
