George was a classmate and very valued friend.
At BFHS we managed to get into much mischief together.
He will be sorely missed.

Al, I don't know if you remember me, I was pretty young when you moved from Big Piney. I remember Elton alot during the time he lived here.  He was always so kind and friendly.  I also remember babysitting the boys a few times when they were just small when you lived here in Piney.
Helen and Bob Wilson had told us about Elton passing. I just wanted to send you a short message.

Kelly and families,
I remember your dad was a hoot. He always had me in stitches with his humor. Remember going with you to reserve a room in the Red Lion for their anniversary, you were pretty with it kids. Mom and Dad will miss him also. I'd love to touch base with you guys, I've included my email address. They're looking for you for our 30th high school reunion. George will always be young in my eyes. Him and his slides!

It saddens me to hear of George's passing. I truly enjoyed working with him at Plum Creek back in the good
old years. My most cherished possession I left with from there is the hard hat of the "Seven Drawfs" that George painted for me as his supervisor. If I was still a drinking man I would surely toast one of the best guys you could ever know.
God Bless
Jerry Reed

My family enjoyed many meals and encouraging conversations with George and his family.  We will miss George he was a very generous soul.  I loved prayer with George and how he referenced the "mighty Lord".  I will think of him every time I make such reference.  Shalom, Rhonda

Uncle George - you could always make me laugh, I adored that sense of humor. You'll always be my Uncle George. Aunt Bonnie, you know I'll always love you. And Mike and Linda: I never forgot all the fun! Please don't you ever forget it, either.
Blessings to all.

Grandpa, I love and miss you dearly...I'll miss getting letters from you, hand written on yellow lined paper.  You always drew the best cartoon characters on the envelopes.  Nobody can take your place - you were the best Grandpa in the whole world and my heart aches when I think of you. 
Love, April - Grandpa's Precious - Always and Forever
