We just wanted to let you know how much we will all miss Dood and his sweet spirit. Jennifer mentioned a few weeks ago how much she always liked getting to see Dood when we come down to Beaumont, how nice and cheerful he always was to her, that it reminded her of her own Granddaddy and Granny. We know he is smiling down on you from heaven. His life was an example of all the good Christian values that we were raised with, and was such a blessing to all of us. We love you, and will keep you in our prayers for brighter days ahead. Love, Kathy, Bob, and Jennifer

Evelyn and I wish to extend to this immediate and extended family our Deepest Sympathies for this loss of a truly fine man. George in his various duties literally helped me take care of my family. His word, was better than any "contract" ever written on paper. I will miss him greatly.
