Wilma and family, So sorry to hear of Chief’s passing. I’ve been in and out the hospital several times the pass two weeks; getting out yesterday and have a doctor appointment at KU during visitation. I first met George in 1965, he was already a CMSgt, always had great respect for him. And you! Thanks for being friends the many years. Just wanted you to know Jan and I wanted to be there out of respect and friendship.

Dad,
It’s been 6 months and it’s still hard to believe that you are gone. I am happy that your suffering is over, but your zest for life was amazing to witness. I am sorry that your obituary did not adequately represent who you were. You were bigger than life and had a huge influence on so many people. “The last of the George Washington Stones” . May you rest eternally in peace……
