Sorry to say I never had the chance to meet him but I have become friends with his 2 daughters. And he did a pretty good job with them so he must've been a good guy.

Wish my words could bring you some comfort, but your loss has cut so deep.  In time I hope your memories are only of the good times.

The loss of someone dear to us is never easy. I hope all the cherished memories that you have of  Mr.George brings you some light during this dark time. My deepest condolences. Will be keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.

George and I got hired and started on the railroad the same day. I have worked 2 to 3 jobs at a time all my life, but I never seen a man that worked so hard and went out his way to help people.  Not many people inspire me, but George you are truly one person that do.  I am just blessed to have met such a wonderful and helpful person.  This world was definitetly a better place with you in it.  I will dearly miss you my friend.  Rest in paradise and we will meet again.

May you find comfort in his love for all of you and celebrate his wonderful & exceptional life he shared with all of you. Hold his memory dear to your hearts. Be in peace George

Celebrating a life well lived. We will cherish the memories forever.

No more pain... My thoughts are with your family.

You were a wonderful husband to Carla, an exceptional father to your daughter and will be missed dearly by all,  I am glad you are no longer in pain and can now watch over all of us still here.  Love your "Yankee" friend Beckie Jones Suyes

In the 8 years that I have known Carla, I had never met George! The standing joke between us was that George was invisible, and that Carla was creating this "super-husband" up all in her mind! Throughout the meager years that I have known Carla, I had come to know the love the two of them shared, and yes, I did eventually believe that there was a "George", and he was one Hell of a guy!! Now, unfortunately, it is too late for me to meet George in person....but I am a firm believer in Angels, and I know that Carla will forever have George with her. I look forward to the many more stories of the life and love they shared!  Thank you George, wherever you are, for being the man who swept Carla off her feet...Thank you George for creating such a wonderful life to be shared! Oh, and somewhere along the line, I do believe that George had a passion for choo-choo trains?!?!, I guess some kids never grow up! Rest, rest well George!

Sorry for your loss, He was a hard working family man, and we thought the world of him.

I will keep everyone in my thoughts, I send my love and condolences to everyone. R.I.P George, you will be missed. You were a wonderful kind hearted man. May peace find the family in this time of mourn. I love ya'll and think about ya'll daily

I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.  George will forever be in your heart and will forever more be your guardian angel.

So sorry to hear of George's passing. His spirit will always be with you in your beautiful fond memories of him. May they give you peace as you mourn. My prayers are with you all.

My condolence Carla, so sorry for your loss! I will eep you and your family in my prayers!

Carla, I'm so sorry.  It's a wonderful thing to find your soul mate in this life.  I was hoping for a miracle that you'd get to have him here on earth longer but now you have an angel to look over you.  My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Carla, sending you and the girls hugs and prayers.  Please find comfort in knowing George is sitting at the right hand of our Father with no more suffering or pain.  Love you

Dear Carla, Prayers go out to all of the Family
R.I.P. George. You're now in a beautiful, and Peaceful Place.

Carla, Rosie, and LeeAnne, George was a wonderful man. My family and I are here for you guys always.

My thoughts and prayers are with you. Love you guys?!!

The day before your entire life changes is exactly like any other day. I don't agree with that because for some reason I should have known that the moment of your last breath was right around the corner. Everything felt different. There was a haze in the air that just didn't seem right, but I ignored it and I will regret not being there for your last breath with us every day. I miss you terribly and I hurt a pain so deep that words can't describe but I'm also so happy that you are no longer in pain. I love you more than anything and you will always be my superman. You will be what drives me through every day and keeps me going. What drives me to be the best and do the best just like always. You are truly my inspiration and I will miss you every single day, but just because you're gone doesn't mean you're forgotten. I love you so much daddy. See you again soon enough.

Going to miss you coming through drive -thru

LeeAnne, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family remain in my thoughts and my prayers.

My heart goes out to all of the henegar family. I am sincerely sorry for you loss, I hope some comfort maybe found,  knowing he is no longer in pain, but at peace. He will be miss, but he will forever reside in your hearts

The day before your entire life changes seems like any other day. But to me it didn't. There was something deep down that knew this would be the last time. The last breath was drawing near too quickly. The moment I found out I was shaking. I couldn't believe it. My daddy wasn't gone. My superman couldn't he brought down by anything. Nothing. Not even cancer but here we are, not knowing what to do. The man that has been the biggest inspiration in my life is gone and there will never be a day that I don't miss you terribly. You will forever be what drives me through every day of my life and even though it pains me that you are no longer here I do know deep down that it's for the best. Even though I hurt, you no longer do. I can only hope to be half the person you were. I love and miss you so much dad. You're forever my superman.

So sorry for your family's loss Rosie!  I know he will be dearly missed.  He did a great job raising you and now he can watch over you no matter where you are.  He will be in your thoughts, memories and your heart for all the rest of your days.  We love you very much.  Jennifer, John, Landon and Madison Cameron

Though I didn't know George personally, I know by Rosie that he was an amazing man and father. The family is definitely in my thoughts during this difficult time.

We had so many plans. But you were in so much pain. I wouldn't want you here just to hurt like that. I will miss you but I know you are not in pain anymore. I love you fiercely.

Daddy, I can never write in this book how much you meant to me. I will never be able to express how much I love you or give you the fat guy pound anymore. What I can do is thank you for marrying the best woman in the world, and for being here throughout my struggles in life and instilling into me respect, and appreciation for the smaller things in life. This family has a relationship like no other, and even though the man around here is on a vacation on the rails in the sky, we will forever be here remembering the good times and the jokes and the fat guy pounds we had together. Oh and daddy, we watched Lucy last night and that movie was awesome. You would have enjoyed it. I love you so much and I can't wait to be with you again.I am here with mom and I am trying to take her mind off of things as best as I can. I am being strong for you daddy, but I am sure you knew I would be. "Fat guy pound" until we meet again.

He made working at the rail yard a joy.  Hearing him on the radio trying to do all the switching instead of letting the crews do it was comical. He definitely loved to talk and always had a positive attitude which made coming to work tolerable. 
You will be missed but not forgotten. I pray for the family during this time of sorrow but know that God has them in the palm of His hand.
