So sorry to hear about George , I have gone to church with him for many,many years.He was so much fun to be around. He was always telling some kind of joke on somebody! George was also very serious at times. When it came to talking about how God had worked in his life all jokes was put aside. To know George was to love him. He always tried to set a good example of what a christian should be like. Heaven just got a little brighter when he got there. I pray that God will give you comfort and just wrap His loving arms around each one of you.

Mary, Kim, Roger and Family, I regret that I'm unable to attend George's service but will keep you all in prayers and thoughts. George touched a lot people's lives, young and old. His work in the church can still be seen today whether though young people who have become adults or through his talent as a builder. Although he has been unable to attend for some time, he was and still is remembered as a Christian man who would help anyone in need. May God provide you with strength in the days ahead.

My dad was the best father a boy could ever have. He was my hero, my mentor and my most trusted friend. The words that describe him are honest, loyal, courteous, respectful, integrity, compassion and generous. My dad was absolutely the finest example of what being a good man is. I love you and will miss you everyday of my life dad. Thank you for showing me what love and goodness really are. Roger
