I am just learning of your passing. As, I drive the school bus by your house and keep and eye on things I couldn't help but notice things have changed. George, you were a sweet and kind man. I loved chatting with you. May your family find peace and comfort.
So sorry to hear about a wonderful person. Will miss seeing him at Walmart. He always ask about Gary. Prayers for his family.
My sincere condolences to the family. I know my son, Aleck Long, will miss him, as will my ex, David Long.
Prayers for his family, he was always so nice and friendly when he came to Walmart I enjoyed visiting with George when he came through my checkout line
Mr. George was one of my favorite patients and not because he always brought candy to the office for us ladies. He liked to visit and give me a hard time and he took it in return with a smile. I Loved making his day and helping him with what ever he needed at the time. Sometimes he came it wasn't for anything but just some small talk. I am so glad I was able to help him during one of his rehab stays. I stopped by and dropped off what he needed and he was in the window waving. I stopped and talked a min or two and you could tell he was happy I had come. When I think of Mr. George it will be with fond memories. He will be missed.
I will say a prayer for his family and friends as they say good bye for now.
Sincerely,
Ann Cartwright at Taylor Hearing Centers

So sorry for your loss. He was always a friendly man. He was always interesting to visit with. He told that he remembered me bringing things from the parts store on my bicycle. He worked for Orgel Shannon at his tire recapping shop. Prayers for the family
Bro George will be greatly missed. It is strange walking into the Church building and his pew is empty. We loved him very much.
