To the Family of George King: I am the former pastor at WALLACE Memorial. I am sorry I did not learn of George's death until this week. I shared this on my Facebook page (LIBJIMMCCLUSKEY) and many people at the church have posted loving comments about George. He was truly admired and loved. I hope you can access these tributes and share them with your family.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
