George, I only met you a few times but it was always a pleasure and good time. You will be missed and I know you have been received into Gods kingdom. My prayers are with you and your family.
George, you were a good friend and I will miss you. Ride on my brother.
George, you were a great friend, a mentor and such wonderful role model for so many. You contributed so much to my life and for that I am forever grateful. That includes your amazing chilli and my first bottle of “good” wine. My prayers are with you and your family as they morn your passing.
George was a stand up guy! Honest loving and a joy to be around. Vacationing with George was so much fun! A lifetime of memories! This wonderful man touched so many lives and will be missed by all. We love you George ????
Family… that’s what we are❤️For as far back as I can remember, you were always a part of our life. From cruise vacations to constantly asking me to “pull my finger” to Diana walking through the screen door right after you fixed it!! We loved you and will always love you!!! You always told us how much you missed Denis….We can only imagine the joy you are both feeling right now❤️❤️❤️
From another “Old” Danly employee, Your passing is hard felt. Knowing and working with George Sr. in Machine Repair, to George in the machine shop, assembly, and other endeavors both within and out of Danly, there are many memories. Times we worked well together, worked against each other, but had always remained friends. Though our numbers are getting ever smaller, the loss of George makes his departure, as a friend and colleague, harder to take. George’s family should be very proud of him, just as those of us who also called him friend.
We will always have fond memories of you and yours. Ricky and myself always had more fun than some people could ever imagine with you, Irene, Brandon and other F V Hog folks. We will ride together again!!
Love Hollywood and Ricky
I loved when you and Irene would come for a visit at michelle’s house. I’ve know you since I was 6 years old! I will miss you dearly!! Rest in peace until we see each other again!!!!!
Dear Irene and family: so very sorry to hear of George/s passing. Will truly miss his Christmas “tomes”, catching up on all your family news. May the Angels guide him to Paradise. – Tosia & Rick
