Shirley,Ron,Dennis and families;

Jane and I are sincerely sorry for your loss. I will always remember all the time we spent playing our never ending basketball, baseball and football games at Prospect Park and over at the school. In many ways, we were like one big family of kids. We hope and pray that we will all meet again some day before our heavenly Father and share and laugh about all the good times we had together.

Sympathy and prayers,
Rob and Jane Ramey

George was a good athlete. He was a hard nosed football player and track man. As a kid, he was not as big as the other players but he was tougher! He ran like a cat quickly clawing his way through the line finding the hole to get through.
He was easy to coach as he followed the demands made on him.
May God be with him and his family and friends as he travels to the other side of our existence.
