You will always be in my heart. I Love You and Miss You. But I do know you are in a better place. Not hurting, being poked at, tugged at and at peace.

We worked on the same job several times since 1983, we were friends on and off the job. After retiring, we enjoyed many evenings out & dinner, many mornings out & breakfast, You, Edie, Linda and me. You are still with us; every time I drive, I make the same comments as you concerning other drivers, everytime we go to Cracker Barrel, I remember your comments, "Welcome to China, everything you have here comes from China doesn't it"?......"SAY"?
Nah, you haven't gone anywhere, you're still with us in our hearts and minds.

Edie,
We always enjoyed the time that we spent with you and George. If it wasn't for the hall of fame, we would have not met. You are in our prayers and know that George is having a grand time in heaven.

George will be greatly missed by all who knew him. He was a very personable and caring person. We truly enjoyed his friendship and visiting with him at various functions we all attended. God is so much bigger than we will ever understand in this life, but George is now in the presence of our Heavenly Father walking on streets of gold...no more pain and no more sorrow. Yes, we miss him here with us and will always have pleasant memories of him. Edie, we pray that God will give you and the family the peace and comfort that only God can give you in this time of loss of your loved one.

Edie ... Sincerely regret the belatedness of this condolence. So sorry. On behalf of the members of the 482nd FIS at Seymour-Johnson AFB, I wish to extend our mutual gratitude that some of us were able to meet with you and George at the squadron reunion. It is a blessing that he suffers no more but we shall miss him and I shall miss his help. God bless you and take care.
