We only recently heard about George's passing. He certainly was a fine man. We remember him year after year, decade after decade, sitting in church with his lovely wife and girls. He seemed to be the epitome of a good family man. His neat yard always showed pride of ownership, along with his outstanding community spirit. Men like him have made America great!!! God comfort you during this difficult time. Lovingly, Dave and Ann Sague
