Hearing of the loss of George just breaks my heart. We were friends, classmates and considered him a brother as well. My sincere condolences to all of his relatives and especially his daughter of the terrible loss of a good man. I think of him often and his brother Phil who was lost sometime back, we were almost like the Three Musketeers because we hung around together almost all through school in Trion. It is with deep regrets that I will not be able to attend the services but I know he is in better hands now and I shall visit his gravesite as soon as I can because my parents are interred at West Hill. Prayers to all for the coming days of grief and loss and that the Lord will comfort you all. May God bless you!!
