George Kober


Sometimes I don't know what to say.

Simple common sense says that is the time to say nothing, but there are times when something must be said.

George passed away Friday.  He was 96 1/2 years old, a father, grandfather and great grandfather whose great grandchildren adored him.  That says a lot right there.

I met him when I was 23 and he helped me plant the flowers in my yard.  He knew everything about growing flowers!  Or so it seemed to me.  Gardening was his hobby.  He worked hard as a tool and die maker for General Electric for a living.

Most of what I know about George I learned from his daughter, my friend, and I know he will be missed.  There is probably a lot more I could say, but what is more important than being a good man, respected by all and loved by those who knew him?

Rest in peace George.  May light perpetual shine upon you.
