We send our condolences. We're praying for you all that God will strengthen you as you share the memories. I remember Mr George as he was my bus driver. He always met us with a smile when he open the doors of the bus in the morning. That always encouraged me. May God continue to bless you all and we love you ❤️🙏🏽 Rev Janie Johnson and Sister Willie Mae Cowell (Sis)!

This one hurts! We met George & Dean in 1975 in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. We've been friends ever since. Both of them had hearts of gold; and both had wonderful senses of humor. 😂Good times, awesome memories. We love you Dean (George Jr. & Brian); hold steady! 🙏🏽❤️✝️
