    Sincerest Condolences, I have a great many memories of Uncle George from my younger years and he holds a very special place in my heart. I've always been quite curious of my fathers life as a boy and he really doesn't say to much but when he talks about Uncle George it is very clear that he had a profound effect on his young brother. Dad has told me some stories about the remarkable character of his eldest brother and as a father I can very easily match my fathers description to my earliest memories of Uncle George. Your home was always one of my favorite stops as a child and i genuinely appreciate how you all tolerated my youthful enthusiasm. Uncle George made things happen and is an irreplaceable fiber in the fabric of the family....and is sorrowfully missed. May 21 is a day shared by my youngest son Arlynd as he turned 8 on that day which will always remind me of my dear Uncle George. Thinking of you, remembering you and loving you from afar. Rick, Teresa, Owen, Wesley, Justina and Arlynd Wiens

    Betty, know that our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very trying time. George was such a delightful person, bringing mischief and laughter to all those surrounding him over the years. A gentle man, and a gentleman. Our family takes comfort in knowing that George & Ken will be reunited - and no doubt up to a few pranks as was the norm with those two! Love from Jeanne & girls.
