I met George many years ago when cable was just beginning in this area. I saw him many times over the years and finally wound up working with him a few years back. He was definately one of a kind. May God bless your family with the knowledge that comfort is a prayer away.

Susan,
I didn't know George personally, but I know that he was and will continue to be very dear to you. No words can express what I would love to convey to you, but I know that God is still on the throne and will comfort you as you have the need. If there is anything at all that Mac and I can do for you, please do not hesitate to ask.

George has always held a special place with us. We remember him from Luther League, driving the tractor and pulling the float for the Christmas Parade in Petersburg. There are so many memories we have of George through the years. Buying your first house, helping us when our cable TV would act up. He was a special person who will be missed by many.

May God bless and comfort you at this time, and may your special memories sustain you through
the days ahead.

So sorry Susan, to read of George's passing. May each treasured memory bring you comfort and peace. Though no words can hurry what you are going through, please know how much you're being thought about and how deeply you're wished the gentle comfort of sweet memories.
