My sympathy to the family in the passing of George.
George and Clara brought my home in Olin and I would get to visit with him when he would come into Ditto’s in Stanwood. May God grant you the strength to get through this time of sorrow.
I have so many happy memories of good ole George! He was a wonderful man who touched many lives. We are so sorry for your loss and are praying for all of you!
Just want to thank everyone for the fond memories and condolences in remembering my father. He was a great man that I will hold close to my heart.
