One Condolence
  1. George will surely be missed! Condolences to his family who we love like our own. He loved them with all his heart! George was a kind, gentle man who loved faith, family and community. He served his country with courage as well as his many years of courageously and selflessly serving his community as a firefighter. He was soft spoken but always had a keen sense of humor and a love for everyone he knew. I have so many great memories of George and the rest of the family. I will hold them dear. Rest in Peace George, may loved ones be comforted to know he is now with his Lord and Savior and Pauline and the others who have gone before him. He leaves behind a loving family and a lifetime of great memories. We pray his new home in heaven has a huge garage/workshop for him to tinker around in and a boat to fish and clam in and a hunting camp to do whatever guys do at hunting camp….

    2 Corinthians 5: 6-8
