I’m fortunate to have known George since 1973 when we were partners in the East Precinct. No matter how bad a day I was having George was always able to make me laugh. We became great friends over the next several years. The last time I saw George was shortly before his last episode. Joe Ruff and I were visiting with him at his house.
I’ll never forget the smile on his face when he looked up and saw us. God bless you my good friend. 351 Signal C....
I've known George for more than half my life - I've never know someone who loved to have fun more than him - he was the life of the party. We didn't always see eye to eye
about things but through thick and thin we remained friends. I loved his family as my own
but best of all we share two wonderful children - Leslie and Judson - thank you.
Go rest high on the mountain while you are walking with Jesus - see you again one day.
Always, Mary
George and I spent many hours on the lake. I had put out a anchor and when it became time to haul the anchor it was entwined in a sunken tree. George told me untie the rope and I’ll come back tomorrow with scuba and get the anchor. He was a man of his word because next day he drove up with my anchor.
I truly and deeply regret that I was unable to attend George’s services today because of medical conditions that would not allow it.
George you will always be remembered as a true friend
I have several memorable memories of George but one stands the test of time.
At one of the many family functions we all attend, I was telling George that I had been laying ceramic tile in some houses, that I had been helping to renovate.
At the time he had just added a room to his cabin home and needed to lay a floor. I told him no problem, I’d give him a hand, and we scheduled a 3 day weekend, to tackle it.
We worked hard for 3 days, for a couple of old guys, and laid all the tiles, and grouted a small section, leaving him to do most of the grouting.
After one of those grueling days, we were sitting around and George asked if I wanted a shot of whiskey, I said sure. We talked about many things, family, careers and politics. So, with a serious look on his face he asked me, what happened in my life, to make me a Democrat. I smiled and laughed a little and tried to provide some rationale for him, and laughed quite a bit that night.
George was a good person, father and friend to all that knew him and will be missed by all.
R. I. P. my friend.
George's outgoing smile and sweet personality will be missed. I have great memories from knowing him.
George (Gee) and I go way back to the good old college days at MSU. We actually met while working at MLG&W during the summer working to help pay for college. I remember Gee helping me to bring home a MSU big road sign that we had to take off a pole while working on the pole’s power lines. I still have it today hung in my home office and think of Gee every time I look at it. Gee and his kids and mine, spent many of summer hours at his cabins by the lake and one by the river. We have so many fantastic memories together as probably most people do who knew Gee. I know for me Gee was always my best friend and we could discuss anything. I really missed Gee after our graduation from MSU and I moved back to Cincinnati to get a job. If you ever met Gee, he was your friend. I don’t think he ever had anybody who didn’t like him. Gee I hope to see you again in the big blue heaven, where I know you are at peace. My peace and blessing’s to you Michele, Leslie and Judson. You should be proud of Gee. He will be missed.
Many memories of George at the local wine tastings and also all the BBQ contests in Memphis, great guy!!!
