Our thoughts and prayers are with you Fern and David at this difficult time. George was such a great farmer and always had a kind word for everyone. Cherish your memories.
Glen and Christina Early
Fern and David –
So sorry to hear about George.
Our thoughts turn to all the fun times during visits together, the extended family gatherings, the Christmas celebrations at the farms. George was not one to shy away from giving advice and as the years go by, he was usually right. He didn’t seem to mind getting thrown in the pool by a bunch of teenagers … nor did he worry about getting euchred by taking a chance and “making it on the 9”.
One more visit would’ve been nice, George. Looking forward to your predictions about space travel coming true. You’ve earned your rest, George. May you Rest In Peace.
Glen and Christina.

We offer our condolences on this sad occasion. George was a member of the old school where his word was his bond. For some reason, that school doesn’t exist anymore. He was a valued member of the community and particularly of his church. We mourn his passing.

Sending you our deepest condolences on the passing of George. He will be remembered as a family man and storyteller, a proud farmer and practical fun-loving joker.
