Donna and family- George was one of those people that could brighten your day with a smile and a "Hello". He is missed already. You are in our prayers.
Donna- I got to know you when I worked at Villa, I’m so sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.
Donna and family, my heart goes out to you. I think I met George for the first time when he was here taking care of Aunt Gladys after she had surgery. I remember thinking, what a lucky girl you are Donna. He was so caring and gentle with Aunt Gladys. Love to you and your family.
Years and years ago I attended Sonoma State University. George was my boss in the dorm food service and then years after graduating I crossed paths with him again at the Parkpoint Club in Santa Rosa where he was participating in a cardio rehab group. I got to know George through these experiences and have many wonderful memories of the times he made me laugh. I remember when Dale worked at the local grocery store and telling him how I admired his father. My deepest condolences to Dale and the entire family. Your dad was a wonderful man.
Go in peace and love George You will live forever in our hearts.
George was a kind and wise man whom I was very fond of. I considered him a friend. He will be missed very much. We will see him again soon when our Lord comes to reclaim the earth as His Kingdom.
