“At an early age, George completed his task.
He did it very well. He did it with honor, he did it
with dignity, and he would probably look around
here today and say, ‘they all showed up here for
me?’ Yes we did. We showed up for George today,”

Lt. Ron Davis delivered a message that
included prayer, recitation of a Bible passage, and

direct, and whatever needed to be done got
done. He was a leader,” said Davis.
