So sorry to hear this George was a great guy and a friend to everyone.
I have always thought very highly of George. He would help people no questions asked and not ask for anything in return. He’s been a great neighbor to my dad and others in the Ithaca community. He will be missed!
Our deepest sympathy to George’s family. He took very good care of the cemetery for a long time.
He was a great neighbor and friend.
He will be missed.
Shawnda and family,
I just heard this morning and am sorry for your loss. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
Shawnda your family have been a huge part of my life. Your Dad was one of a kind. Taught me a lot. Loved his stories about life as an Indian and camping was always an adventure. He was a kind person who would help if needed and sometimes not needed. He just would do anything for anyone. Love to you and your family.
We are so sorry to hear about your dads passing. I know you will miss him. Our prayers are with you and your family.
