George to an Ole Sailor Love you
Crossing the Bar
by Alfred Lord Tennyson
Sunset and evening star,
  And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
  When I put out to sea,

But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
    Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
    Turns again home.

Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
    When I embark;

For tho' from out our bourne of Time and Place
    The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
    When I have crost the bar.

George you are and always will be my very best brother in law , i was blessed to have you in my life for all the good times and the bad times. i will love you and miss you everyday of my life, suzyq,

R.I.P Uncle George, you will always bring a smile to our faces whenever we think of you and your crazy antics, whether it be 3am phone calls, dirty jokes or just acting a fool, you will always be remembered fondly, and most importantly, with a smile. We love you!

 What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more conversation, one more hug. we may not understand why you left this earth so soon, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived and that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget.

From the time I was six and you told me you were naming your daughter after me, to the many parties where people you just met were thrown into the pool completely dressed, to the Christmas we showed up on your lawn at midnight to sing carols to you and your family, to every time in between and since, my life is full of wonderful memories of you. You will forever be one of the most genuine and loving people I will ever know. Always there for anyone no matter what and already greatly missed. I love you very much Uncle George!!!
