My deepest condolences to the family. Remember you are not alone at this difficult time. "God is our refuge and strength, a help that is readily found in times of distress." Psalm 46:1

Phil and I are so sorry to learn of George's passing. We Had never met George but had heard many great things about him when talking to Lela. We can't be there but we send our thoughts, prayers, and sympathy to everyone. Love, Renee and Phil

George was a good re man. You could always count on him.  Sad. Rip

TO THE FAMILY OF GEORGE M STURGILL   Dear Lela and Family,   The death of  my friend George was received with shock and much sadness. Please accept my personal and sincere condolences. Our years of friendship will always be an important entry in my book of memories.   It would be tempting to say that George inherited the ingredients of his success or that it was something within his bloodlines. But instead it was the sum total of merit, and hard work, and especially, the choices that he alone made for himself that determined the direction his life would take.   George remembered that justice is conscience, not just personal conscience, but the conscience of mankind. As I reflect back he was not only an intelligent and amazing person but a giving person who in his own way was always searching for ways to make life better for others. He was a kind and distinguished gentleman of goodness and character.   This is the light George cast for those who looked to him for help in their darkest moments. The light that led so many who pursued the American dream and the expectation of justice, the light that now serves as a guiding beacon for those who follow in his wake.    But what stands out the most is not what he achieved, but how George lived his life. He moved through this world with confidence and an unshakeable love for his family. George will be profoundly missed and will always be the rainbow in our clouds. Our heart aches at our loss, but his legacy will always be with us.   Please know that I am deeply sadden by his departure but blessed with the fact of knowing Heaven has just gained another angel. So, at the end of that last tour of duty and hearing the sound of that final ‘all aboard' call we should all come to realize that a life lived believing, giving, caring and loving your family is the only life that really matters.   May the ‘hope” found in Gods' word out weigh the grief the family feels? Gone from our eyes, but not forgotten in our hearts. Rest in peace Mr. George.  Tom DuBose Macon, Georgia
