Deepest sympathies to Frieda, George, & their respective families. I last saw you father about 6 years ago. He was as I remembered him from years before: gentle, quite, and very willing to help those who need it. - Posted by: Kisanya Agagnier (my mother was a friend of his wifeToni.) on: Jan 05, 2012

My condolences to the family. 'Uncle' George was always friendly and willing to visit when we met. I have happy memories of him when he and 'Aunt' Toni would visit with my parents. - Posted by: Helene (Bock) Dyck (cousin once removed) on: Jan 04, 2012
