Jean Modrow says
I will always remember George & Grace from my time as church secretary at EUM (now Faithbridge Church). He & Grace faithfully gave their time and their talents helping compile newsletters and congregational mailings whenever available. George’s wit and humor, along with Grace’s patience and support were valued and appreciated and I grew to care deeply for both of them.
Grace, you are in my thoughts & prayers. George has moved on to heaven. I’m sure he’s waiting for you to join him when God decides your time on this earth is completely.
With deepest sympathy

Carla (Edwards) Landowski says
I have many fond memories of our families getting together in the 60’s through the 80’s until the kids all moved away. George was a tremendous father and family friend. Mom and Dad always loved playing bridge with George and Grace which is something I wish our generation would have learned. My heartfelt sympathies for the family. George is in good hands.
