Our deepest sympathies to Thea Dorothea and the entire family. May Uncle George’s memory be eternal. All our love to you all. 🙏
What a fine and good man you were. You had a devilish twinkle in your eyes. You were admired for your stamina and work ethic-second to none. I was blessed to work with you 32 wonderful years. God bless you. Dottie and family, my heart is with you. xoxo Anna
We are profoundly saddened by our dear Great-uncle George’s passing. It has been 3 years since we visited, but talking on the phone has always been special – will miss our chats but will continue the tradition with Aunt Dorothea. Rest in peace Theo George. Sending our love to the whole family… we will see you next week.

“I have such fond memories of Grandpa George from growing up with all of you. I loved when he’d come with his newest Cadillac and show us all. He had such a charming smile and wonderful love of family. He was such a thoughtful and considerate person. You have my deep sympathy on your loss.”
To Dorothea and the entire family, our deepest condolences. We are all so saddened to hear of George’s passing. His infectious smile and ever-present kindness will very much be missed at St. Catherine’s Church. May God give you all strength and lift you up during this difficult time.
