Oh my gosh!
I'm stunned, shocked and saddened by this news. You know George is one of the co-founders of this newsgroup.
George also gave me my very first award - and that first award is always the sweetest.
Gosh, as long as I've known him he has always been trying to spread laughter and cheer. Doesn't "Happy Inspirational Pages" say it all. He will be so missed!
Thank you for coming in and letting us know.

This just breaks my heart Dee. He was such fun and made you laugh and feel important. I am just sick about this. Such a shock!

Very sad indeed. Took the wind out of my sails big time.
My sympathy goes out to his family, loved ones, and friends. He's simply crossed the stream, and will continue to be with them in another way.

It was a shock to hear of his journey on into another and better place, but I am sure that he will brighten it up just as surely as he did in this group for so many years. He will be missed. My condolences to his family.

HELLO DEE,     I, TOO, AM VERY SAD ABOUT THIS NEWS. I DID NOT KNOW GEORGE FOR VERY LONG. HE LEFT ME WONDERING ABOUT HIM LATLEY. IN FACT I E-MAILED HIM LAST WEEK. I SAID WE HAD NOT HEARD FROM HIM. AND I WAS WONDERING HOW HE WAS? HE E-MAILED ME BACK SAYING HE WAS HAVING SOME HEALTH PROBLEMS. BUT THANK ME FOR BEING CONCERNED. I WILL MISS HIM TO. HE WAS A GOOD KIND MAN AND I KNOW HE IS WITH THE LORD.
DEE I HOPE YOU AS A VERY DEAR FRIEND WILL FIND COMFORT IN ALL THE E-MAIL ABOUT HOW EVERYONE FELT ABOUT HIM.
SINCERELY,
MAUREEN

YOU ALWAYS HAD SOME KIND OF ANSWER. :~)
REST IN PEACE, GEORGE.

From: Bill

It is sad to realize that we will no longer see George's unique brand of humor. He had his own style of spreading cheer and will certainly be missed on several newsgroups. Bye-bye George, may God rest your very merry soul.

From: NY LADY

RECENTLY GEORGE POSTED HIS PIC IN MY GROUP. I COMMENTED ON HOW GREAT THE PIC WAS.
GOD BLESS YOU FRIEND, YOU WILL BE VERY MISSED. NYLADY

    THANKS FOR POSTING THAT PIC. IT BROUGHT A SMILE TO MY FACE AND I'M SURE THAT'S HOW GEORGE WOULD WANT US TO REMEMBER HIM, WITH A SMILE ON OUR FACES EVEN THOUGH WE WILL MISS HIM.

    HE BROUGHT MUCH LAUGHTER AND JOY TO SO MANY OVER THE YEARS AND SO MUCH HELP ALSO BY BEING A CO-FOUNDER OF HOME PAGE OPINIONS.

SO LONG GEORGE. I HOPE YOU GOT WHERE YOU WANTED TO GO :^)

TAKE CARE,
DONALD

Just found out.

The Pod is stunned.

He will be missed as a founding father, HPO'r and friend.
He made many graphics for the WPG and we will continue to use them in tribute.

I will miss him.

NORMAN: "Me too!"

Bruce

I just found out too. I've been gone for a few days and when I checked in this was at the top of the board! A long time ago I went to his site about his humble apartment and signed his guestbook. He answered in mine and wrote:

"I'm glad you enoyed my instant coffee, in fact you're the only person that liked it. LOL"

I got a kick out of that.

Betty

I was so sorry to hear this news. I know George had many friends in this group and in other groups on the web. He will be missed by many. Dee, my special condolences to you. George was a good, christian man and he is with his Lord now. I pray for confort for you and his family.
