Although we have known George for only a few years, we have learned that he was a kind, honest and very honorable man. George was a wise man, speaking only when he had something worthwhile to say. It was an honor to call him friend and even more of an honor for him to call us friends. We miss you, George. ..

Dear Tim and Family:
I have known your Dad since first moving to Houston in 1977. He is by far one of the most kindest, and caring person there is. His knowledge and guidance helped me throughout my working career. A true southern gentlemen. He loved his Clarise and his family above all else. I will miss him dearly and our talks. May you rest in peace now George and may you and Clarise dance forever in heaven.
My deepest sympathy.
