    George was our neighbor in Stewart. Such a great neighbor. He would show up at our door with a big bag of tomatoes fresh out of his garden. He was always willing to lend a hand or just talk in between our houses. We will miss him dearly!!!! Prayers to Judy and to his family to be comforted through this difficult time, R.I.P George. Sincerely with love, Curt and Heather Schlueter
