Guest Book

George Lang was one swell fellow. I met George on a college recruiting trip many years ago and he was offered a position in the accounting office at the Watkinsville manufacturing plant of Anaconda Wire and Cable Company. He was a fun guy to be around, never a dull moment with George. His wife Lillie is a peach of a person too. George was proud of his family, Lillie, and their two daughters, Jocelyn, and Felicia. As time went, I lost contact with George and I was sad to hear of his passing. I send my sincere condolences to Lillie and their entire family.
