I remember you as a stable point in my life with Mike and Jim a place to breath for a sec
I lived in Richland for many years and would visit the 7-11 on Jadwin. I met George then and had much respect for this man. He always had a friendly smile and warm look in his eyes. His demeanor was that of a good Christian, and was honest in dealing with his fellow man. I will miss this man and wish his family the love and peace at this time in their lives. May God bless you all.
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I am glad that George’s struggle is over and that he is finally at peace and whole again in a better place than we dwell now. Please know that I would have come if I felt my presence would not have brought conflct. I love you all and will always cosider you my family. I will be in touch. Love, Kendra
My wife and I were very sad to learn of the passing of George. We have been friends of George since 1951 when we were members of the Jaycees in Richland. There was no person more dedicated to community service than George. He was very active in both the local and state Jaycee organiatiions. He was a kind person and a hard worker. He also did a great job as owner of a 7-11 store and was a good husband and father to his children.
Charlotte & Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with you. I am saddened at hearing of the loss of George.
He was a great man to work for and treated me fairly in my few years as his employee. I will always remember him coming in every morning and heading straight to the coffee to make sure there was enough brewed for his customers. I always pass by that 7-Eleven and fondly remember my time that I worked for George. He will be greatly missed.

Sending much sympathy for your great loss to Charlotte, Liz and family. God be with you all. I know that George is in the Lord’s loving care and that you will meet again some day. May God bless and keep you safe until then. Thinking of you with love. Your friend “Nana” Diana
My heart goes out to all of George’s loved ones. He was a good and fair employer during the 1970’s and a fine and wonderful friend as were Charlotte and Laura. I very much miss chatting with the lovely and beautiful Laura at Safeway where I worked for 30 years. George will always be remembered as an honest, kind and dignified human being: The world has lost a true prince of a man. Charlotte: I hope to see you in the near future–it’s been 33 years!
I was so saddened to read of George’s passing. He was one of my favorite customers when I worked at the bank and he owed his 7-11. He sold me my first horse, Tu-Ak and I am sure the two of them are happy to be reunited again. George will always have a special place in my heart.
To the people I love,
To have missed out over the years I’m truly sorry. I only discovered today the loss of two people I truly loved, George and Ms. Elizabeth.
My heart is broken.
I wish I could be there for you but my prayers are with all of you today.
All my love, Tammy Tarree.
