George was much more than any words could ever describe. He was the sweetest, kindness, most generous husband, father, grandfather, and friend that anyone could want. As his daughter said, he was the "poster dad." All of us who knew George feel honored to have had the privilege of being in the presence of a genuinely special human being. He is missed.
I hope there's ribs in heaven!
