We were so blessed to have known Mr. George and got to visit him the last years with buying from his beautiful garden and just having a very good friend. He always checked on my mom and we all tried to do for one another. He will truly be missed. We will forever cherish the time that we shared with him on our many visits and we loved the great vegetables that he raised and the watermelons every year. He was so proud and always remarked on his beautiful family. God Bless, Ruth Riddle, Debbie and Kathi (Carter Hills Subdivision)

Mr George was an amazing man. He was so sweet and I loved seeing him outside doing his work. I would honk at him in the afternoons from my bus when I was one way home. He would get all smiles and wave away. He will definitely be missed by all who knew him

Mr, George was an awesome sweet man. I bought watermelons, tomatoes and firewood from him over the years. He would also give me free greens from his garden. I always honked and waved at him when he was in his golf cart watching people pass on Juban rd. and stopped to chat with him when I could . He will be missed by our community. RIP.

Mr. George was the sweetest soul! He was proud of his garden and once when I was home visiting my brother Duck Lege, he took me for a ride on his golf cart to show me what he was growing. He had a joyous spirit and treated me like a part of his family! His tomatoes were the best tasting too! Mr. George will be miss on this earth! Fly high on those beautiful wings! Rest in Peace Mr. George! Sincerely
