George was like a father figure to me although I was more like the parent always trying to get him to eat healthier.so many great memories the best memory I have is when I picked him and my dad up (they went to school together) and went to Rogers malt shop and had a root beer float something so small made them both so happy. Whenever I needed advice George always had it to give and was usually pretty good advice he will be greatly missed.
I’m sure he is up there hugging his dog Baby he really loved her.
Deepest sympathy to the family
I worked with Sugar Daddy (we all had names other than the ones our mothers gave us) in the refinery He was quite a character. I would see him once in a while at his house on Oleander and we would shoot the breeze. I have some medical problems that preclude me from being at the graveside service. My sympathy goes out tto his family and friends for their loss.
