George will always have a special place in my childhood memories. Now as an adult I can see what a very good,honest Christian man he was and I thank God for having known him. I agree with Edy in the certain faith that George is having a wonderful reunion up in heaven, a reward he richly deserves.

From him I learned that Betsy was the farmer, while Charles worked in the Twin Cities at a machine shop (I never would have known that, assuming Charles was the farmer!). If only time had allowed, I could have listened to the stories of the old days until George ran out of ideas. Such sweet memories he shared, and the wonderful insights it gave me about the heritage of faith passed down through the generations. To God be the glory for the time He lent George to all of us. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of His saints. We look forward with eager anticipation to the family reunion that George is now enjoying. Thanks be to God!

A gentle, kind, quiet man who exuded love. His wonderful story about the flying saucer and how I remembered thinking, "this is a man who could never make that up so knowing it was totally true." The way he looked at June as if he had never seen anything quite so beautiful. Dinners at Ken and Elizabeth's bountiful table. Lots of laughter. These things live in my heart and mind. Thank you for sharing him with Loren and Me. Love, Kathryn What do I remember of George? A gentle, kind, quiet man who exuded love.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I am flooded with memories of all the good times with George. His quiet dignity and gentle humor, his kindness to a little girl, his charming stories of when Grandpa Eph and Dewey were young....how I will miss him! I know there will be great comfort in looking into the eyes of his children, grandchildren and great grand children and seeing his legacy of love. He will always hold such a special place in my heart. Jeanie Dearest June and family,
