George was a great neighbor and friend. If you wanted to know anything about anything, George was your go to guy. He had his own "forest", a yard filled with trees and loved to collect rocks on his way to and from the neighbor's houses. He'll be missed. Glad I was lucky enough to grow up next door.

If neighbors are extended family, then George and Ginnie were the best Aunt and Uncle.  First, they gave us such great cousins in Judy and John who turned out to be incredible earning potential my babysitting years.  It was so awesome to think I knew a real librarian from the rich part of town.  And, I will never forget a ride in the backseat of that old car.  The way George hit the breaks made it an amusement ride to rival Elitch's!  So blessed to have had his influence on me growing up.  peace, Jane.

We say that George was the original Google! He was so well-read and knew something about everything.  His laughter and wit filled up a room.  He was a dear friend to our family. May he Rest In Peace. Big hugs to the family. May you find comfort in good memories. Love you all.

This is from Oooo! Love and miss your great hugs and crazy, loving humor. I'm sure you are up in Heaven searching for rocks to bring home! Love to the family ! I'll miss you George! Godspeed. With love, Cheryl Strickland

You used to babysit myself and sister way back in the eighties, I don't remember that as well as I remember a friendly neighbor in my early teens. One that I would always talk to while riding my "customized" bicycle or driving my questionably dangerous contraption of a "riding lawnmower". Lol
You were always great at "one-liners", and the nonchalant delivery could put a smile on anyone's face. Thank you for being a great neighbor and friend to me when I was younger! 

Rest in peace Mr. George...

With heaviest of hearts,
Leif Kosatschkow

G-dog,
Thanks for all of the great memories.  I finally found a place in Colorado you haven't been.  It took 25 years but Ohio, CO. Thanks for giving me your daughter, I love her and I hope to treat her as well as you did.  Take care and find some great hiking spots.

I remember you playing and hiking with us and how fun and funny and smart you were. I'll always appreciate your dedication and all the hard work you put in to be such an amazing provider for our family. Love you, dad!

I remember fondly, your unique sense of humor during Golden Circle lunches. And how you gave us all our very own special nicknames. And coffee across the street at Good Karma with you, Ginny and Cheryl. Miss you George.
May God bless you and your family always.
