Sandra. Although we were neighbours out on the farm , we did not get to know George until you moved into town. We will certainly miss his daily bike rides in the summer and always a big”hello neighbour “ when he went by in the car. Many times he would be out looking for you if you were a little late coming home from your walk..George will certainly be missed by family and friends.

Condolence from Dwayne and Jodi Overholt on March 10th, 2022 10:15 AM

Sandra, Traci, Tiffany and families,

We are so sorry to hear of George’s passing.

I have so many fond memories of us working together over the years. When I started out working for him in high school he helped me find my passion for the work I love to do. It was obvious that we were meant to build kitchens together because as time moved on and years passed, we ended up working together again in the same building.

George was not only someone I worked with for many years but, he was a mentor and a friend who will be truly missed.

May the memories you have bring you comfort in the days ahead. You will all be in our thoughts in prayers.

Condolence from JOHN HURST on March 15th, 2022 11:25 AM

Although I only knew George for the past few years I came to like his persona. His gruffness masked his caring and I will be your friend if you want me attitude. He always greeted me each morning with hearty hello as he arrived at Ironwood with his cup of Tim’s and an eagerness to get going as he waited for his friends to arrive for their 8:30 tee time. George was a superb golfer and always wanting to improve. Even though his eyesight failed him somewhat he could smack that ball far beyond men his age although he could never see it beyond 100 yards off the tee! i WILL MISS HIM. Rest in Peace my Friend.

Condolence from Laurie Rusell on March 15th, 2022 1:23 PM
