I am SO sorry that i wasn't aware that George had passed.   I met him at the STROUP FAMILY REUNION back around 2008.  He was a fine gentleman.  REST IN PEACE.  sid stroupe, cherryville nc

Our family will miss our kind neighbor, George.  George taught us what it means to be a good neighbor.  He was generous and thoughtful and always offered a helping hand.  Ava loved to stop in a visit George and get a piece of chocolate.  Our sincerest condolences to Paul and his family on their loss.

George was our neighbor for 30 years. He was a dear man. always eager to help everyone. We are grateful for the pleasure of knowing him and his family.

George was a good man.  I was his neighbor for 42 years.  He was the best neighbor you could ask for!   I watched for him everyday.  I could always tell things were alright by his whistling and his walking no matter how hot it was!  He would be always working on his house if he was outside.  I admired him so much for that, he was fearless and nothing was too big for him to do.

He will be missed by all of us.

I was young when last I visited North Carolina. However, I will always remember Uncle George as the man who shared a pair of binoculars to look at all the colorful birds from his North Caroline home. Texas Birds tend to be varying shades of brown and white. So as a little girl, I thought it was wonderful that Uncle George shared birdwatching with me. My favorite joke he used to tell was, "There goes a VLP." Of course, VLP being a very large plane. Though I was a shy girl, I always laughed at that joke; still do. 

I am sad to hear of his passing, but also joyous that he is reunited with the love of his life. I am celebrating his life in thankful prayer! As an adult I wish that I had known Uncle George better. I will always think of him with profound respect and keep a soft spot for him as my kind and intelligent Uncle from North Carolina. 

All my love to his family; my cousins. 

About George Rhyne:

I loved him, he was my mentor, and he will be missed very much.  I have known him for a long time, and how Billie (his wife) loved him and his family too.  He was a kind man who accepted everyone and helped many.   He was a man of few words, and you really didn't know what to say because he knew so much about everything.   Every time when we called him on his birthday, he always was so proud of his son Paul, and talked about him all the time on the phone what he
was doing at the time.  We were referenced to his younger sister-in-law as Patricia and her husband Robert (Kwang) Silvany.   We loved him so much.

I remember George was always smiling! He was so friendly and kind - one of those really nice people that was nice to be around. Praying for peace for his family. 

George was a first class, intelligent guy and had an opinion on about
every subject.  He and Billie were a real neat pair of solid Christians.  George visited me on a regular basis at Folger Automotive for years and it was a pleasure to see him each time.  We'll miss him at Central Church where he was a faithful servant of God.

George has lived across from me for forty years. He was a very nice man and very religious. He will be missed walking the streets in our community. Prayers to Paul and his famiky. 

George was married to my sister Billie Ann Rhyne.
My memory of him when I was a child. I would go and sing him songs,and he was always so patient and kind. I believe he liked that,because when he was in the hospital,he ask me to sing for him. I remember his laughter when he thought something was funny.
I remember some advice he gave me and a word of 
Encouragement during a trying time I was going through. I remember him saying how amazed he was to see me get up at 5:30 in the morning to do my homework
When I was a child. 
I remember how he took care of my sister when she had cancer.
His faithfulness to her and his devotion. He was a good husband and father.
I loved him very much,
But I know he is in heaven rejoicing with my sister right beside him.
Jerrie Wilson sister-in-law
