Our prayers go out to your family in the passing of George. My husband and I have owned the gas station in town of Moscow and for the past few years I have had the opportunity to speak with George in the early mornings when I would open our station at 4:30 a.m. He spoke sweetly of his family. And would often share of his son that would be coming up to help him with his paperwork. He so looked forward to any family visits. We would often talk about Karin, when she was alive, with updates on her health and I would pray and encourage George. He was excited to go to the gym in the morning and we would chit chat about the goings on in the town. He would often be at the store, when I had to open, and help me take the papers in that were left outside for us to sell. He would often tell of his day – going to the gym and helping out at Flip’s Farm Market. My husband and I just sold our business, after 30 years, in August of 2009 and our customers and friends like George have been missed. He was a joy to see in the morning and our family sends our heartfelt sympathy to you.

We are truly sorry to hear of the loss of your father. He was a great neighbor of ours who will always remain close to our hearts. He had a great way of making us smile and that will truly be missed.
