I have thought of George many times since my retirement. He was so kind. No doubt you have many wonderful memories. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
So sorry to learn of George’s passing.
Larry and I enjoyed our time spent with George and Donna when they both he and his Larry worked at the KU Endowment.
Thoughts and prayers to the family ❤️????
I had the great privilege of serving as George’s Pastor for 25 years and working closely with him as a great leader at First Christian Church. I never heard George say a negative word about anyone and had the upmost respect for him and his exemplary charcter and service to his Lord and his community. It is sad to know he is gone and I share my love with all of his family. My life has been richly blessed by the Stewart family.
Randy, Sorry to hear of your father’s passing. James jr and Rosalie Banks of Lecompton, Ks.
