To George's family please accept our sincere sympathy. George will always be held in our thoughts and prayers. He gave his time and person to tirelessly working at the Baptist Church in Warren. He blessed my parents with his love and jokes. My mother would look forward to his Sunday greeting of a joke and a hug. He always kept an "eye out" for Dad as he got older. He will be missed.

I've known George for over 30 years thru companies I worked for. Sometimes I would spend half my day with him and we talked and joked about many things. The man I got to know was a man who loved his family, enjoyed his work and the people he met along the way. He will be missed by myself and many more. My deepest sympathy.

So sorry to hear of the passing of George. We will always remember his wit and expertise around scales. We have had many enjoyable visits with George when he used to come in and calibrate or repair our scales at N.E.Sterling. Always a humorous joke or story from him and I know he will be missed by all that knew him.

Our condolence's on the loss of George. We had the honor of meeting George at the Frerichs Farm Weigh-off. He was a very nice person and was always right there to help us make sure the scales were correct. He was a big part of our day, and we always looked forward to seeing him. He will be missed by all of the directors of the Southern New England Giant Pumpkin Growers Club. Ron & Dick Wallace

GP, your sudden passing has left everyone who knew and loved you, feeling shocked, saddened and so empty for the loss. You'll always be remembered not only as a loving family man, a truly good friend and co-worker, but also as a man of kindness, integrity and honor. Your sense of humor has brightened many, many days for me personally. I know that you will remain in my thoughts each and every day for the rest of my life. You will most definitely be missed. I want to express my sincere condolences to Cheryl, Lisa, Sydney and to Fred, Jean and Aldea. Also, to Barry, Karen, and Vinny. May you Rest in Peace George.
