Truly blessed to have this man in my life. I’d be excited to come to work every day with him on my mind. He became a part of my family. I’m thankful that george welcomed me with open arms. The first day I met him. He came up to my cart to get his meds, he was so serious. I asked him, hey would it kill you to smile, he laughed and smiled real big. We became the best of friends. He always smiled every day from there, and would always greet me whenever he would see me. George gave me purpose when I came to work. I will always cherish i got to spend with him.
George was a kind and thoughtful Man. His smile and laugh were infectious. He was also a Patriot and a Marine, One of the Few and One of The Proud. I was fortunate enough to know him for over 25 years. One of my fondest memories is when he drove his brand new Bright Yellow Bee Convertible Camero from Prescott, AZ to my office in Torrance, CA! In fact that photo sits proudly on my company website.
He is with Marion now and at Peace.
God Rest his Soul.
Grandpa, we love you and we will truly miss you. Say hi to Grandma for all of us. Thank you for being the kind of man we can all look up to and for living a life we can all aspire to live. Most of all thank you for everything you’ve done for our family and for our country. None of us would be here if it wasn’t for you and Grandma. I’ll always love you.
