George was one of the finest men we have ever known. Kind, gentle and soft spoken, he was a loyal servant of our Lord Jesus Christ, a stalwart in our Century Gardens Ward. We will miss his friendly greetings, his firm handshake and charitable attitude. Our condolences to his family and especially to his lovely wife, Marjorie.

We were so saddened to hear of the struggles of the past few weeks and passing of Uncle George. But also glad that he didn’t suffer too long. I am so grateful to belong to such a wonderful extended family. Summer reunions at the ranch with grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins were the highlight of my younger years. I also remember long drives to Montana to visit and how much fun we always seemed to have. Thank you so much for all the memories. Even though we didn’t have a chance to get to know Marjorie we heard such wonderful things about her. How kind and loving she was towards Uncle George. Thank you Marjorie for all you did. You are all in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Much love, Karen, Ken and family….
