I will always remember fishing and spending Christmas with Uncle George, Auntie Pat, Lucille and Georgie. I would randomly stop by to see my Uncle and Auntie on the way to Monument Lake. He will always be a Rock, a tough man in my eyes. With a great laugh and sense of humor. Love you Uncle George. Always. I’ll keep catching fish for you here!
Love your niece Janelle
Rest well sir.
