George was a great neighbor and a good friend. He was very talented at fixing stuff. Not only could he repair antique furniture, he could also repair broken metal. He became very talented in turning industrial scrap metal into usable items. He will be missed by many!
So glad we were able to know him & get to call him family. It may have been a short time, but he made me feel as if we knew each other forever! A great man who will be greatly missed. ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry to hear about the passing of George. Our prayers & thoughts are with the family.
Blessings to you and the family

George and Chris were always a blessing to me when they would come to my salon. George would always make me feel as if I was the best stylist with his kind words. He truly brought a beauty of light to the room. Thank you and may God bless your family during this time of sorrow. 🙏🏻
