It was a sad time for us to learn of George's passing. He was an unforgettable character--inspirational and humorous.  Let the happy memories you have of him fill the emptiness his passing has left.  Gene and Mary Lou Lusk (San Angelo, TX)

Our love & prayers to family. George taught us the true meaning of G.O.D. - Good Orderly Direction ..... why the sky is blue & the grass is green. We smile as remember the lesson "if I'm hurting for ANY reason, something is not right with ME!"  Rest well, George & Petie. We miss you both.

OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS TO THE FAMILY  THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FATHER WITH US  HIS WISDOM STRENGTH AND HOPE HELPED SO MANY    YOUR MOTHER TOO WAS A GREAT FRIEND AND CONFIDENT TO ME   THEY ARE TOGETHER AGAIN   DORIS AND JR. CONTWAY-RUIDOSO,N.M.

George lived his life the way in which the Lord wants us to-to love others,to help others,and to be a positive example for all whom we met. Our families lives were intertwined in many ways,and I believe the Lord chose the Tankey family to be the neighbors across the street all those years ago. (along with the Smith family) May God's sweet peace be with each of you in the difficult time ahead.Love to all.

George always had a smile and a hug for me, asking "How is life treating you?" "All is well, George!" Your daddy was a wonderful man and I was honored to know him and call him my friend! You are resting with Jesus now George. He always said to love one another as God loves us. Daily I live in Gods love to love others, George! Thank you for who you were to me and many others. Prayers for peace and comfort to each of you during this time.

" All is well, right this very moment!"  George made a huge impression in my life, I loved him much!  He will forever be in my heart and for that I am grateful!  Teri S

I am one of the ones that George helped along the way. He was a very wise man and was willing to share his wisdom. All I had to do was ask.

Tankey Family

"Georgie come into our lives, and  left  footprints on our hearts, and we are never the same".--
