George,

When we said “I Do, till death do us part”, almost 34 years ago, I had no idea it would be so soon. I imagined us sitting on our patio somewhere in a tranquil place having a cup of tea in the morning, watching our grandkids play, traveling the world and enjoying retirement. But, that was not to be... I loved you deeply and am grateful for our children and the memories we shared. Thankfully yours, ...until we meet again, all my love!


I am very saddened by the news that my friend George will not answer the phone the next time I call him, we won’t be able to ride our Harley’s together in retirement like we planned and we won’t be able to be the boys we were in our youth; in our senior years. But my memories of us together and my relationship with him over the years will always be with me.
Brenda, I am so sorry that I could not make George’s memorial. It breaks my heart that I am not able to break away from my work, but please know that I am here for you. I will visit you when I am able.
Love, Johnny Bair


I had mentioned to George that just before I met him I was enrolled in the Spartan school of aeronautics and that someday I wanted to work on airplanes.  In 1983 I enrolled in the Maryland, Frederick Community college Airframe and Powerplant course, and tried to convince George to join me. He didn’t join me the first year but after he saw how much I liked it and realized our future career potential, he did sign up in 1984.  By the time George had completed his two year class I was already working for New York Air out of Dulles.  George was hired in 1987 and they merged with Continental where he and Brenda moved to Houston, and I moved to Seattle.  Despite our separation we stayed in touch and visited with each other from time to time over the years.  Whenever we talked I could hear in his voice just how proud he was as a dedicated husband and father. He loved his wife and family very much.
George was my best friend, a mentor, and one of the most trustworthy people I have ever known.  Those who knew George are well aware of what a fun loving and genuine husband and father he was, and our memories of him will live within us forever. The loss of such a special friend, husband, father and grandfather like George is always hard to accept but I pray that Brenda, Melissa and Jonathan always remember just how much he loved them.

George Siebert has been my friend since 1977 where he and I met in Linthicum, MD. We met on the loading dock where George was driving an Isle Picker and I was driving a Fork Lift. George had just got out of the Army and I had just graduated high school. We got along so well that within a month we moved into a 2 bedroom apartment together in Maryland. 
George was always a very free spirited individual and I felt that no matter what he dealt with in life, every challenge was met with confidence.  I will always have fond memories of how we both respected each other and I can’t remember one time where George did not include me because of my age. He was a dedicated friend and one that I will cherish for the rest of my life.  And no matter what stage of our lives, we still acted like kids together when we met up again or when we talked on the phone. It was as if nothing had changed from the time we met and it was always refreshing to see him or hear his voice on the phone. It wasn’t long before we both changed jobs and went our separate ways but we were still best of friends. 


Brenda,
How do you put into words all our conversations about work, family and everyday life that were discussed over the past eighteen years with George? When I mentioned to my daughter who's about the same age as Jonathan that my boss passed her reaction was "George Oh No". This really showed me how George's passing is felt at many different levels I wish you and your family all the best
Gods speed
Mike Leonard

Hey everyone,
Sorry I could not be there at the celebration of life for George but I wanted to ask if someone could please relay my regrets if there is an appropriate time to do so.
I have known George for what seems like my entire airline career. First and foremost, I cannot recall a time that he was not willing to help me out. When I think of George I think of one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met. He treated everyone like they mattered and were important, whether you just an Engineer or a VP in the company. Technically he was sharp; he had a great knowledge of the aircraft and the systems in the airline. He also was a great leader, and finding talent within the organization was something he was especially good at.
He was taken so suddenly from us, I will miss his voice on calls, seeing him in meetings, and even reading his emails. For those of you who were his friends and family, I am deeply sorry for your loss and share your sorrow.
I will miss you greatly George. You were always there for me and countless others.
 
With heartfelt condolences
John Wiitala,
 
Vice President
Technical Services, United Airlines.


I know you were so scared of death and what the afterlife was like or if it even existed, but I find peace in the fact that you will no long have to worry about cancer and will no longer suffer. You are free. I can also find peace in the fact that you stuck around long enough to meet Grey. I know you loved him so much and were pained by the fact that you won’t get to see him grow. I can only hope that you’re watching him from another dimension and not missing a single thing. I am so proud that I made you a grandpa and can’t help but feel like his arrival was fate. Although I really don’t want Grey to ride a motorcycle, I am going to honor your wish and keep it for him.  Safe travels my daddy, my Starman, my forever angel. I know you’re a bird flying free and now you can rest peacefully.
Love forever,
Your Dooger


As I became an adult, I became your confidant in a sense. I knew you were a deeply complex person and your eyes spoke a thousand words. You didn’t often show the outside word what was going on with you, but I knew. We could look at each other and the exchange of thoughts happened telepathically. Despite the anguish you carried from your childhood, you always tried to help people out and were the ultimate provider. What am I going to do now that you aren’t here to remind me to get my oil changed and take care of all things mechanical? I loved that you were smart and could figure anything out. I think I share the same impatience as you and like everything to be perfect and straight too. You were even worried about pictures being straight the day before you died (haha). I know that we had some fights when Donald Trump came into the picture but that stuff doesn’t even matter anymore.  What am I going to do without you? You were one of my best friends and best margarita pal.

Dad,
                My first memory is of you. I don’t know if it’s a real memory or a learned memory but for some reason my brain chose you. I was riding on the back of your bicycle and associate you with the first feeling of freedom, the wind on my face, being a rebel. You were adventurous back then and I loved doing things outside with you, especially picking blackberries. As I grew older and became a teenager, I thought you were the coolest person ever, you were my idol. I loved that you loved rock music (particularly our favorite, David Bowie), would entertain my love for scary movies and all things supernatural, and that you acted more like a friend than a strict dad. My friends thought you were really cool too. One time you even caught my sneaking out and then sang the “Cops” theme song to me the next day. I know I gave you hell too, like when I jumped off the roof and you chased me down the street. I’m also really sorry for stalling your Porsche all the way down the street when you tried to teach me how to drive a manual.  Regardless of the crap I did, you always loved me and made me feel understood. 

i have known george since the 70's. we shared the basement of my father's house in the early 80's when he was cleaning carburetors at glen burnie carburetor i believe it was. george was determined to make something of himself and often vocalized it.  staying at my fathers house allowed him the time and money to pursue his career and he did so. i remember george's funny giggle laugh and his love for bob dylan who i couldn't stand at the time. he slept on a mattress on the floor in the part of the basement where the sump pump was and we often used that as a urinal LOL. I haven't kept in real close touch with george in past years as much as we all would like too but george did offer to fly me to texas which i declined due to being wheelchair bound and its such a hassle but the offer was there. he died much to early but seemed to have lived a good life. see you in the next world george! tommy  

It was an honor to have been allowed to be part of your life. I hope that at your service, I was able to show you some of the dignity and respect you always showed me. You may be out of sight, but you will never be out of mind..

Our fondest memories while living on Lost Maples were in the company of the Sieberts. So many dinners, drinks, laughs, supervising landscaping projects, neighborhood gatherings......the list goes on. The Tres Amigos- George, Rod and Mike.  If the skis look gray above, that may just be George at the grill..  We loved that guy. We shall meet again.. God Bless

Debbie and Rod Rotolo

While Wendy and I only knew you and Brenda closely a short time George, we thoroughly enjoyed the times we shared. Whether it was New Year's Eve at the Harbor, you sneaking up behind us at Chachi's or you turning us on to Happy Hour mussels  at Carrabba's you were always a joy. You will certainly be missed. We know you now have an endless supply of heavenly Stella to enjoy in that Black Cat Ridge in the sky. 

God Bless and Rest in Peace my friend.

Ron and Wendy Tish

We are going to miss you George so much.  Rich and I have great memories of fun times with you and Brenda.  Dinners out or at home, and drinking shots in the backyard. Everyone who knew you knows you as truly "A Nice Guy". 
We love you and miss you.  Rest in Peace.

Rich and Ettie Castellano


I have the same syndrome as Jon.  My best memory was in 2008, we took a Disney cruise with the families that have same/similar syndrome. George,  Brenda and Jon were on the same flight as us coming home.  We got to hang out with them at gate, talk about the trip. Once we landed in Houston, we said our goodbyes and went home.  Just by hanging out I can tell George love being able to watch Jon have fun!! He enjoy that more then anything that day. My prayers and condolences to Brenda, Jon and Melissa.,, 

My daughter has Apert like Jonathan. When she was just a couple months old George asked to hold her. He was telling her that she would have a lot of surgeries and it would be rough but she would be ok.  I'll never forget him saying that to her.  I will also never forget those famous ribs. Im so glad i saw him this past December.
You will be missed George. Many prayers and hugs for your family. Xxxx

One of my fondest memories of George took place one summer at a hotel in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.  The occasion, hosted by my wife and me, was a gathering of families affected by Apert syndrome.  Many of the families were meeting each other for the first time.  A number of us were hanging out in the hotel lobby, including myself and George. 

As it happened, there was a workout room next to the lobby, and we wandered in to check it out.  I don’t remember exactly how he goaded me into getting on the treadmill.  Despite being five years older than me, George was in much better physical condition than I was, but I would never have willingly admitted it.  He started the belt moving at a reasonable pace, and continued to increase the speed gradually until I was struggling.  And at some point, I missed a step, and then another and the speed went up again…

The next moment was a blur as my feet failed to operate and I fell onto the (now very quickly) moving belt, which shot me at full speed into the mirrored wall at the back of the room.  Fortunately the only damage was to my ego.  We laughed about that for years, and I have not been on a treadmill since.
We’ll miss you, George.  

Love, Don, Cat and Teeter Sears


May you rest in everlasting peace Uncle George  ❤️❤️You have been such a constant in my life for as long as I can remember and I know a big part of me hasn’t fully accepted that your really gone. You were always someone that I truly admired- the definition of pulling yourself up by your boot straps and creating a beautiful life. Because you were my uncle I grew up knowing that it doesn’t matter where you come from or what school you went to- if you work hard and find something that your passionate about there is nothing that can stop you.

 I used to love bragging about you in elementary. I would tell all my friends how my Uncle worked for continental and knew how to make airplanes fly. I came to visit you guys without my parents when I was pretty young and I remember before I flew out to go home you took me to the tarmac and showed me all the planes and introduced me to all the people who worked for you. I knew right away that you were a fantastic boss and that the people who worked for you really enjoyed doing so and I think that says a lot about a person. 

I always knew that your childhood growing up left so very much to be desired but that didn’t stop you from being the most devoted and loving father to Melissa and Jonathan. I saw you show both of them so much unconditional love and that’s how I will always remember you. You will be so very missed by every member of this family for the rest of our lives and I promise that we will make sure Grey knows how much his grandfather truly loved him and that he was a man of integrity, strength, conviction, and who was always ready to make you laugh. My love forever Uncle George ❤️❤️❤️ I know you are at peace in heaven

Mr. George was one of the greatest people I have ever had the pleasure to know. Thank you Mr. George and Mrs. Brenda for the opportunity to get to know your family through my friendship with Jon. I am thankful that Jon and I became friends and  I am so greatfull to call you guys family! Love too you all!
-Catherine Jones

To Siebert Family we are very sorry for the lost of George you guys are in our prayers love the Sapp Family   

I'm still having a hard time coming to terms with George going to Heaven so soon. 

After George buried the hatchet with our brief rift. (Which was really my fault.) He came to me with advice and support and a hug after my dad died. It was right there I knew George was a good man and became a dear friend.

I wish we'd been at the funeral more to support Brenda, Jon and Melissa. I would've liked to have shown my respect for George by being their too. However, I know he knows I appreciate and have a great deal of respect for him. I want to remember that man in life. I want to remember him walking up my driveway to chat after getting the mail. I want to remember him greeting me with excitement and a huge smile when I would visit him in his office at work. I want to remember him riding off on that beautiful Harley beaming with pride. Most of all, I want to remember him being the proud father of a special needs child and loving on that kid like all parents should love and dote on their children. George was always eager to help me and my family whenever there was a need.  I will look back at many good memories of George and his family for the rest of my living days.

Time helps to heal sorrow we feel with losing a loved one. However, there will always be a piece of our hearts that is gone forever with a loss like this. 

George, you will be missed dearly my friend! See you in Heaven!

Todd

Dear Brenda Melissa and Jon,

We were so sorry to hear about the passing of your wonderful husband and father, may you find comfort with the family and friends that surround you and the many happy years you shared.

Much love, Janet & Bill Brumley 

I knew George from work and he was always there help us when we needed help.  I had called on him many times to aid us in our struggle and he always came through for us.  I think the greatest thing about George was how friendly and easy going he was.  He had much respect for us out here on the airplanes and he took great pride in having the answers or someone who would be able to help.  Thanks George for all you did for aircraft maintenance and I always enjoyed talking to you about anything.  thanks for being there always.  My prayers and thoughts go to the family and we are sorry for your loss.  h  He made many friends.  George will be missed.  May God's Peace be with you all.  It was nice to read about the memories about George very touching.

Brenda,Melissa & Jon, 
I will cherish the memories of the time I’ve spent with you and with George always. Wishes I could be there with you, as you prepare to say your final goodbye to George. But I will be there in spirit and sending lots of love and hugs to you all during this difficult time. I love you all , I’m here for you always ❤️. 

Brenda, Jon, & Melissa,

I have so many memories of George. I’ll never forget the days on Lost Maples, hanging out on the street at night, watching the kids play, watching George and Rod chop down a tree and blocking the street, and so many more! George was such a good friend to Mike. He always came to Mike’s rescue when he couldn’t get something to work correctly, and I always admired how dedicated he was to his children. I know you all will miss him terribly. You will see him again-I know that for sure. I’ll be praying for all of you! Love you guys so much!

We will always cherish all the memories our family shared with you.  Although you were my brother-in-law, you were more like just my brother and friend.   We will always be there for Brenda, Melissa, Jon and Grey and you will be in our hearts forever.

Carolyn, Randy and family

 I am so sorry for your loss and have been keeping the Siebert family in my prayers. I didn't know Mr. Siebert personally, but I am a friend of his son. Jonathan and I became friends through a Disney group on Facebook and getting to know Jonathan and having him in my life as a friend has made such a positive impact on me.  I can tell from the wonderful man Jonathan is that his dad had to be just as incredible. 

Comfort , peace and love too all of you.  So sorry for your loss . 

We love you, George.   There will be so many memories but  we will always treasure them.   We hope and pray to be there for your family always.  You will never leave our hearts.   We will love you forever! 

Johnathan & Seibert family,
I'm so very sorry for your loss. I didn't know Mr. Seibert  but I know Johnathan from the Disney group. Johnathan is a wonderful caring young man. My thought and prayers are with you all during this difficult time. 

To The Siebert Family,

We've spent many good times with the Siebert Family in past times , sadly life gets in the way and we haven't been in touch as much as I wished we had.   George was a truly good man, and my heart breaks for the family.  My prayers are with the Siebert Family during this very difficult time.
Love,
Ann-Marie, Brittany & Brandon Pires

I did not know Mr. Siebert but I am FB friends with his amazing son, Jonathan.  My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends during this difficult time.   G-d bless ~ The Holniker Family

I didn’t personally know George, but I can tell he was a wonderful man and father and raised very strong and smart children. His memory will live on through his children. My condolences to Jonathan and the rest of the Siebert family. Rest in paradise George.

My condolences and thoughts are with the Siebert  family today.   Stay strong.  You are a wonderful family.  I did not know George, but I know what a wonderful, caring person he was, because of the many loving  things Jonathan has shared about him.  I just saw an uplifting quote that someone posted on Jonathan's Facebook page.  " To live is to go on a journey.  To die is to go home."  Someday you will all be home with George again.  Until then, keep the memories close.  I'm sure he is close, also.

Praying for all of you! May the Lord bring you comfort.

Jonathan and family, 
I am so very sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts and prayers! May your memories comfort you in this difficult time. He will always be with you in your hearts. 


Jonathan, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. You have opened up and shared your life with all of your social media friends, and we grieve with you now. You are living an absolutely incredible life and I know your dad is so proud. Keep shining your light! His memory will be with you always. Sending hugs your way!

Sending much love to the Seibert family.  I have not met you in person and only know that you are a fabulous family because you have raised Jonathan to be the fine young man he is.  I have prayed for all of you.  God bless. 

Siebert  Family,
Although I don’t personally know you, I do know Jonathan from the Dizney Junkies site. I want to express my deepest sympathy at this very difficult time. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.  Jonathan, you are such an upbeat, positive young man, and I’m sure your family is so proud of you. Your Dad will be your special guardian angel always watching over you.  May you always feel his love surrounding you. 
 
With sympathy

Jonathan and family,

I am so very sorry for your profound loss.your family will be in my continued thoughts and prayers. 

I never met George, but I know he was an amazing man because he created a kind hearted, giving and strong son. I lost my mom, Jonathan, and it is hard. There are good days and bad days. Remember he will never leave you as he lives on in your beautiful memories and your heart. ❤️

I never had the privilege of meeting Mr. Siebert  but do follow his son Jonathan.  My condolences to the family.  

We had a nice conversation about what a wonderful young man he was raising. He was very proud of you Jonathan.

Dear Dad, you have taught me so much in life. You have been there for all 27 of my surgeries like Auggie Pullman in life. I wish you can come back to earth! But sadly I don't think that won't happen. I am going to miss you taking me to my YMCA shifts, my Zumba classes that I teach each week, and having you as my dad. You were the coolest dad and I am sad you are gone! But I will always be your "Wonder" and son.

Fly high dad! I love you!

-Jonathan Siebert (George's Siebert son) 

I did not have the honor to meet Mr. Siebert, but I am so honor to have met his son Jonathan Siebert.
I am sure that Mr. Siebert and the rest of the family  will be so proud to know what an amazing human being Jonathan is and how he have impacted my life and all of those who know him. 
That can only had been the great job that Mr. Siebert and family have done.
I prayed for the whole family that you  all can get peace on your Heart and the Strenght to keep going and  to keep Mr. Siebert legacy alive.
Be Blessed, 
Yoidy Maldonado 

I was blessed to get to know George better in the last 2 years, seeing other at our favorite restaurants. George loved his family so much and was so excited about his new grandson. Rest in peace George! You will be missed by many.

I did not get to see George very often as we lived so far apart; but  I just saw him in January 2018 at my sister Gwen's memorial service.  We had the opportunity to talk and I enjoyed it so much.  George loved his family so very much.  I know that George was a hard worker and those under him really admired him and that says a lot of someone.  My heart is breaking so much right now as I cannot go to be with them.  My prayer is that God's loving arms would wrap around Brenda, Melissa and Jonathan and hold them very near.  May they feel his presence during this very difficult time.  I love you all so much.
Love Aunt Jeannie

I never met George, but knew he must be a good guy for raising such a wonderful daughter. Melissa and Brenda have been a great source of support and friendship to both myself and my daughter.  May God hold you in the palm of His hand, friend.

 - a note by Isaac Hill 
These are our darkest hours, confusion, shock, sadness it overpowers, our tears seem to come in showers, the pain just seems to last for hours, There are no words that can be said, it seems so hard to look ahead, and every minute we seem to dread, as we lie awake in bed, but when you actually look around, there is a light that can be found, the love of friends is so profound, and helps the pain to go down, every nightmare has its end, look for comfort in a friend, dedicate all the time you can spend, in finding a heart you can help mend, there is no doubt this is a crazy place, and there will be many challenges to face, but just find hope in a loving embrace, and all our darkness will be erased.

My heart goes out to the Siebert family with tears and joy as well knowing that George is with Our Heavenly Father in  his forever home smiling down on everyone .
To my new family, I pray and ask God to be with all of you  to comfort and keep you
Love
Kimberly, Michael and Jimmy

Starting my early years at the Christian School of Kingwood was a wonderful beginning to life for one major reason, the five girls. Our kindergarten class had five girls in it and as a result, us and our parents were all very close. Mr.George (We all called the parents by first name) was always wonderful. I have nothing but fond memories of him as a child and feel exceptionally lucky to have known him. My heart goes out to the entire family. My deepest condolences and most comforting thoughts go out to each of you. Mr.George will live in the hearts and minds of many for years to come.
