How can I put into words how so much time could go by so fast. I am so sad but in a way ok with the fact that you are back with jane,your only true love and could understand why you couldn’t be without her for long.being so far away is hard for me and fills me with regret that more time was not spent with you guys. Although I think of you often its just not the same not being there.thanks for teaching me to fish dad, see what you started? I will think of you and jane everytime I see the sun set or rise on the kenai and know that you will always be there in my heart.

Becky and family,
I feel like I did a lot of growing up at George and Jane’s house. What wonderful memories. From Jane’s great cooking to George eating that crazy-hot Kim-Chee. You were blessed to have such parents – I mean how many people can say they get cans of oysters for Christmas? I love those things now. They are GOOD PEOPLE. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.

I chose you, George, as my best man for my wedding to Mary Lu (30 years ago this year) because you were so special to me in so many ways! I will always treasure all the wonderful memories of our times together and our genuine friendship. Matt Gaudette

Although we were apart for too many years, I know now I was always with you in your heart as you were in mine. I am thankful for our time together these past three years and to have had the oppurtunity to meet and get acquainted with my brother and sister. I know Lady Jane was your one true love and it is comforting to know she gave you a wonderful family and a happy life. I will miss you Pops.
